Alcoholic


Take another mouthful
Let it sting your tongue

And burn away
Any bad memory
Any unresolved pain

It is your escape
All is forgiven

And forgotten

At the end
Of a bottle
A headache

And a little dehydration

Is all you will have to pay

For this salvation
That’s what you think
anyway
A few months later

There you are

With your soul ripped apart
Begging
With slurring words
For another dollar
To stop the hurt
Your body is dying

Your mind is lost
And anyone who knew you
Has forgotten
any part of who you once were
