                -Fire and Ice-

Everytime I drink you away
Your face invades my private thoughts
At night.  I feel your presence
Flicker, dim, and fade to black, but
Something inside always relights the
Candle you held inside my heart.

The cigarette burns down to the
Filter, scorching my trembling fingers.
Cursing myself, I stub it out and light
Another.  Why can't I rid myself of your
Smell?  Fire and Ice never smelled so
Good as when you're no longer here.

Flicker, flicker, the next beer
Will help me fade you out.  I know
You will be back, even if your heart
Heart forgot what it was to hold me.
Through some Devil's Fire and Ice,
I will find myself again.

WOW I feel for you.I went through this for several years, and never want to go back there. Not ever. Through all the Hell I went through... well that's when I found God. (as I'm sure you can tell) He was, and is my only way I got out of the insanity that seemed to lurk outside my door at any minute. Not a place I want to go to again in a million eons. After all said, and done the energy, time, and costs were far too much in the casualties it left behind in my life. I hope for you better than I got from the experience save the fact that it showed me the face of God again, and while that's no small thing...I still would never want to put the people around me through that again. I hope you are thinking of other people that are affected by you. I did, but seemed powerless, and helpless to stop it all. God bless, and I hope all turns out well for you.
Sorry when I read your writes I seem to say far too much. I hope all will forgive for that.

Incredible.

I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

Sounds like we have fought the same battle- frustration always does seem less after a few drinks though .....
