Rock Bottom


Can you ever know the pain

Of a alcoholic man?

The torture that’s sustained?

No you never can



Unless you are another

Who has traveled down his path

And faced a demon’s brother

Alcohol’s full wrath



Drinks may come and go

Memories are left behind

Stuffed behind the door

In dark corners of your mind



Horrors pierce your thoughts

Blinding you with grief

Madness is being fought

And in drinking there’s no relief.
