DrunkA Poem by KierstynThey say the
brightest things must come from darkness, But this is
not the case. If this is a
game... I don't want
to play.
No matter how
many times you reach the bottom of a bottle The pain will
still be there. The pain
cannot be displaced.
You taught me
that no matter where life takes you You're never
stuck. But I have never met a man more trapped by himself" Than you.
Removed. You say that
by leaving You set me
free, But I don't feel
free.
How can I tell
you, Crying out
with a voice so hoarse, I love you... If you're gone.
Grief. Because your
absence fills the room More than your
presence ever could, And I can't
bear to think about it.
I once heard
you could be homesick, Not only for
home But for
people, too. I am homesick
for you. So much in
life is about letting go, But I am not
prepared to let go.
I tell them
that you're never coming home, But the
reality is I still leave
the door wide open.
But I know
you're never coming home. Because we
both know damn well You need that
bottle more than You'll ever
need me. © 2015 KierstynAuthor's Note
