You drink and you forget
And you cannot even walk.
Your eyes are bloodshot red
And you slur each time you talk.

To me this was so normal;
Just like every day.
But then me, mom, and Jon
Managed to get away.

We visited for a while
But eventually lost touch;
Yet I still sometimes get phone calls
That mean so very much.

Each call effects me greatly;
Sometimes I'll cry for weeks.
You try to show you care
The purpose, you defeat.

Last time you left a message,
I remember what you said.
It was late and you were drunk
And I wished that I was dead.

"Tell Jess Happy Birthday
I think its the right time...
Oh yeah, you want the number?
Huh? Oh nevermind."

~Jess~

It is so sad what alcohol can do to love and the family connection. This poem is heart sad.
