i wrote this one month before the last time i threw out my ex…so…if he is the drink, i have been sober for fifteen months.
he is the drink
that i shouldn’t take
the fall from grace
the downward spiral
to hopelessness
& a crippling
lack of faith
he is the drink
i shouldn’t take
the step towards
no control
my soul crumpled
on the floor
forgotten panties
stained & unwanted
he is the drink
to which i should shout
no!
the drink i should
feel strong enough to
avoid.
…why am i not strong enough?

There are evenings where i wish i had caught a lunch time meeting. Still after all these years.

Oh, wow, this resonates with me, deep in the darkest corners of my psyche where I try to forget him and fail
