Description: Not meant to be serious...i am not really an alcoholic but i thought this would be a fun poem to write and to try and get inside one's head.
My Dear Friend -------------------------------------------
It is raining outside today
Like a frightened pup I seek
My heart’s warm desires
“Mr. Daniels please come.”
“Jack, my dear friend, it has been too long.”
I need your loving embrace
And your ever comforting presence
I systematically move through my day
Methodically waiting for the meltdown
I know it is bound to come
And when it does….
I know my dear friend will be waiting
To take me to places
Where I can forget even my name
Deep into the piercing darkness
Of the encumbering night
If I am to wake
It is with ache of him gone
And with a day where I must slave—
To a world that would sooner
Hate me than love me
Please let me go home
I miss you Jack Daniels
My Friend as an ex drug addict I have got to admit this is one of the best writes on alcoholism I have read in awhile
I also find it amazing you say you dont have that problem
If you are being honest about that then my friend you are quite the genious
The words match perfectly and one can easily feel the pain and alcoholic feels yearning for that next drink
My drug of choice wasnt alcohol it was crystal meth and by the Grace of God I have been clean for 4 years and will never and I do mean never go back to that life
It was 5 long sheer years of nothing but bitter insanity
AMAZING WORK!!!
Please if you get a chance Please take a look at some of my writes and let me know what you think
Thank You
God Bless
