Empty Bottles

Clash!
Another empty bottle hits the can
She staggers across the room to the cabinet
Only in search of more


Her body flows freely
Her words are now a blur


She takes it out on me
Each and every time
The lies and screams become louder
More realistic and the truth

Alcohol masks her pain
Of coping with issues
While sitting in the corner
Laughing and crying

Once again she takes an another sip
Not knowing how much it hurts
A piercing noise
Slurp!

My anger I cannot contain
My sadness I cannot bear
My numbness feels no pain
My body feels nothing but despair

Clash!
Another empty bottle hits the can
She staggers across the room to the cabinet
Only in search of more

Author notes

This is a poem about someone I know who struggles with alcohol. Also, this is a somewhat scattered poem. There is a reason for that, so get over it.

    I like it and I love you! Great write. Is it who we talked about at my dad's house? The one you don't see so much?

    I love you a lot! You're perfect and you're my favorite; my Meno.

      It's probably who you think it is. The one who is hosting the party next weekend that I invited you and Kaylea to. Is that who you were thinking?
