My Remedy

My lips savors the taste of your neck

You feel comforting to the touch

You are easy on the eyes

I drink in every minute of you

 

When I am lost inside myself

The warmth of you keeps me company

Numbness stablizes my reality

Tormented smiles fade to

Lingering relief with you so near

 

I'm satisfied with just you

A little shot or a strong dose

Keeps me hungry for more

I hold you close to my chest

Feeling your bareness

Smelling your intoxicating scent

My dreams are sweeter

 

Don't think me empty or scared or lonely

Because you fill me with strength

I'm but a woman in search of something

With you I can find the courage to keep going

Time is nothing but numbers

Ticking into fulfillment

 

Maybe oneday I want need you

Maybe oneday I can stand on my own two feet

If I had my way, I would say goodbye today

 

Tears slide down my cheeks

I open another bottle of no pain

Warm happiness glides down my throat

Let me hold on tight as

I fade into nothings

I'm not afraid for I know

You will be here waiting when

Reality kicks back in

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem with a sad story. I know many people who drank themselves to death. Not a pretty vision. I like the way you told the story in this poem. Like the bottle was a friend and things would be Ok. No weakness in this outstanding poem.

Oh how we all try this at some point. It never works, but sometimes we never learn. I love it, you wrote it very well!

This poem is amazing. It has such an emotion that makes you want to cry, but at the same time...it leaves you numb. Great quality work!

i love this line - "I drink in every minute of you" - brilliantly poetic - and lets me drift off - great write here! nice!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Very tragic. The bottle of no pain always turns out to be a bottle of so much pain. An outstanding write for sure.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Exactly what one thinks when they open that bottle of no pain but one day those arms get tired of picking you up off the floor and worrying about you. One day those arms are gone and all that is left is that bottle of no pain and oh the pain that is felt then.........Wonderfully penned.

[Enigma]

Well penned. Clearly shows how love sometimes turns into an addiction of sorts where we cant have enough of our loved one. And unfortunately, reality is much more cruel for such people. Great write. :)

Started out as a happy love poem but then reality hits like a hard rock. Brilliantly done...it shows the power of addictions.
