I let the sweet poison flow
Through my pickled veins
Growing heavy like curtains-
In your grandmother's house
-Heavy, stained, and dusty

I let the sweet poison burn,
Away with all my inhibitions
As it filled me with inky clouds
That ate my decisions
And spit out sunshine headaches
A drunken werewolf for sure

But now I throw my glasses
Against the wall-
I would rather walk on broken bottles
Than ever be at the bottom of one
Again
So after the death of a friend in Afghanistan, I started drinking a lot.  Then my divorce happened and I was a wreck.  It took a good friend and some harsh realizations to pull me back from the brink.  I'm happy I did, and I'll never go back.
