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.

what a true story for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteThere is torment for the alcoholic and for those who live around him/her.
