One of my favorite pieces. Thoughts on alcoholism, and the effects of it.

There you sit
alone in a corner.

ignoring the world as it turns
the sun as it sets
the moon as it rises

The lights dim around you
the people fade away
the sound of silence fills your head
Drowning your sorrows, a tidal wave.

Dreary thoughts
which you pour into your mouth.
The power of your hand
killing
the love of your friends

We, who are schocked by your tempestuous thinking
As you are one drink away
from oblivion.
