Tempting goes so far
When tears are on the break of escape
The sweet escape for sorrow.
Freedom- the guise of the monster
Alcohol.
Drink to forget
Drink to be happy
"Let it go" it says
The slick tongue serpent of sin
Alcohol.
"No one loves you like I do.
I know your pain
And I can take it away,
Trust in me."
Whispers the tempter,
Alcohol.
And so I could not resist.
Bottle and bottle
Glass of red and glass of white
And so I drank
Year after year
All down one the hatch
And through the blood
And through the heart.
But Alcohol hid the truth
Covering the ugly outcome with pretty lies
Lies in the form of happiness and wisteria
The oasis of lies from the deceiver
Alcohol.
And one day.
She looked at me.
No love.
No sympathy.
But a hatred so vile it shivers my longing-
Longing to be happy once more.
A cold shove and I fell to the floor.
No love.
No sympathy.
She lost me
And I lost her
On that day I decided to believe
I could be happy in one swig
But one became two
And two became three
And three became an addiction
All in the vitriolic name
Of the demon known to be
Alcohol
