limitations

I know what it is
to love
someone else's
  everything.
but
he is mine to have
love
need
want
besides
i have no where else to go


and tequila
makes me lonely
and this damn shot glass
is continuously empty.

I really do know
my limitations
I just
don't know when to quit.

    Oh... do I ever remember the tequila, and the loneliness. Yup! She's back! With her sense of poetic flare, and word-play that I've missed. Glad to read you again girl. The last stanza I could have just as easily written. Great! Keep the ink flowing!


    Always ♥

    I love the brevity of this. The emotion is powerful, and sits with the reader. I think many of us can relate to 'love someone else's everything', at one time or another. Excellent penning!

    Addiction is heard to break especially when youre a part of alchoholism. I have struggled with many of my friends trying to break them of this habit and it's extremely difficult to mend. But with effort it can be done, and your happiness will be your greatest reward. Trust me, a failed kidney is not worth it. One of my best friends went to rehad for three months over alchohol, and now is sicker than ever. He just didn't know when to stop. It's best to quit now before its too late. It's all about self-control and how well you can manipulate yourself. Liquor is poison to your body. Consume life to its fullest and never let a craving be your downfall. I like your poem, though.

    If you know that tequila makes you lonely but you don't know when to quit, trust me when I say that the time is now. Life is full of wanting (and needing), but it is hard to be convinced that the grass isn't really greener on the other side of the fence when you know darn well that you aren't even watering your own lawn. We need to be comfortable with ourselves and take solace in the fact that a brown lawn doesn't need mowing. Good poem, by the way. Welcome back!

    This was good I liked the thast two stanzas,

    and tequila
    makes me lonely
    and this damn shot glass
    is continuously empty.

    I really do know
    my limitations
    I just
    don't know when to quit.

    I think they really are the essence of this poem.
    Great work. Thanks for sharing this write.

    Welcome back, Lady. Good to see ya posting again, Venessa. We've missed your words, Sweetie. I hope you stick around awhile. The path gets crooked at times, but Life has a way of working itself out, as you know. I haven't been around as much lately, either; things get busy sometimes. Take care of you. Wanda

    Wow i loved it, very nice choice of words and i agree with the other comment you got this does sound like a great country song, maybe you should give it a try and add more and write an amazeing song. Very good work, keep it up.

    Oh sis this hits home, as you well know. In having met you finally I can say that HE is the lucky one. He is the one that was blessed by your existence, as was I. Knowing when to quit is hard, nearly impossible. You do though, it is just hard to see through tears.

    I love this and am so glad to see you back here. I missed you, well here anyway. Love, and hugs.

      He really is the lucky one, isn't he.

      We must do all that we can to encourage this woman to stick around here.

    And you should stay back. (That way we can let you know when it is time to quit.)

    P.S. Gin is better.
