Alcohol Dream
by Ava BluGot so drunk
My liver was actually inflamed
I was depressed
I wanted you here
Instead you were out watching strippers
And getting high
Love can give you a bigger high
If only you would let me in
Can't explain why I had to drink
Only know it made me sick
I was going to drown
Decided it was easy enough
Jumped in the pool
Everyone was too busy to notice
Just slipped away
They couldn't believe I was awake today
Couldn't believe how much I drank
Alcohol isn't killing me
Drugs were never an escape
I drank to remember when I was young and pretty
Somewhere the rules changed
I passed out
Still in my bathing suit
My sister was running her hands through my hair
I dreamt of you inside my bed
Holding this shaking soul I have
You are my prize
Never knew I could be such a Beauty Queen.

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 12/09/04 at 02:17 AM Your poem is so bittersweet. What a dream, it speaks of sadness, longing, things that may or may not be. And the alcohol is a way of escape is a way to believe the denial. Good work - I like it!
