To an alcoholic the drink can heal <br />The pain and numbness that they feel <br />From the moment that they first swallow <br />Until the bottle winds up hollow <br />They’re on an automatic high <br />Floating high up towards the sky <br />But it seems the come-down brings them to the start <br />And it’s back to mending their broken heart<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alcohol-9/
