I got lost in the whiskey.

12-3-07

  I want to feel your lips close to mine
I want to feel your hands around my arms
tonight I want time to stand still
so I can gaze in your eyes
for a little bit longer.

  instead I got lost in the Whiskey
that didn't even take the pain away this time
it hurts so damn bad to laugh;
so I smoked another cigarette trying not to
think how much I just spent on
that pack that was already empty.

  pain seems to know me better than I know myself these days
and sorrow is my best friend of late
damn; I wish it was easy to drown out my
heartache that just continues to smile at me.

  maybe one day I can stay sober enough
to feel loved by you?
but then again I've never felt love before
and right now my life is coming crashing down on me;
so I take another shot of my Whiskey
just to try to forget that
life is a cruel game that I know I'll never win.

Please tell me what you think

    This made me cry, if you can't stay sober to even be loved...what's the point of drinking? If something for enjoyment causes so much pain what's the point of the empty enjoyment?
    I say you need to get some refreshment of a different kind and drink up life/love not alcohol!!

    I really liked this poem, good job with it! ( =
    "pain seems to know me better than I know myself these days" I love that line, I can relate to that a lot. Hope you are doing well.
    Maybe I'll catch you online later and we can talk.
