For the brightest star I can find So I can make a wish for us That everything will be just fine I wish you could see what you do Each time you take that first drink The things that you say to me You say before you even think They say that words can't hurt you But to this there is no truth I wish that I could forget All of the things I hear from you I find myself feeling bad inside From not loving you like before It hurts my heart so much inside All the way down to the core Together I thought we would be Until the end of time But now it seems as though You have changed your mind I never thought it would be like this My love for you was so strong How could it have just gone away As if inside it didn't belong It is so hard for me to watch As you drink yourself to death I know the love is still there I worry so about your health By Sue 7-7-02 [This message has been edited by SmartChick (07-07-2002 02:48 PM).] |

Let's hope that he comes to his senses before he not only looses a love in his life but everything else as well. It isn't easy watching someone we care about destroy themselves. You penned your emotions well and took them on a complete journey to share with us. |

I can feel the tears from between the lines, Sue... and I hope that this is just beautiful poetry and not about the real.  ~ hugs and tearsLyra |

(big huggssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very sad, sweet friend, I am zero-tolerant on drinking, smoking, and drugs and I know of the horrors they can do to health so my heart cries out to your friend! (sad sigh) I hope somehow we can be rehabilitated and treated, sweet friend, my prayers are with you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Isn’t it the truth. Drinking has ruined so many lives, so many relationships. You’ve written this well… the pain of watching having to watch, unable to do anything about it. |

I know that this poem was difficult for you to write, as it hits home for a lot of us here at Passions. You shared the pain in your heart, and in doing so, you helped others who feel exactly the same way. Many blessings on you, my friend, for your courage in a difficult situation. And may peace come to you tenfold.  Open the door and let your adventure begin!!! |

Sue, I wish you could find happiness again. Some people do not want to get better no matter how much we want to help. Other people are just plain mean. I don't know which one you are dealing with, but I feel your sadness. Hugs Sandra |

Sue, I wish I could say I didn't know what you are going through, but I DO know....it is so hard to watch someone you care so much about do it to themselves, and then you come to acknoweldge that they must want it for themselves....I understand....you have my empathy friend. *s* Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

Unfortunately, this is about the real. Mistletoe Angel Thank you Noah for you hugs. the_loner_23 Thank you. Balladeer Thank you Balladeer! Sometimes, I wonder if there is any hope left. vandana Glad you enjoyed. Tracey Yes it is the truth. Alot of damage has been done. Paul Wilson Thank you Paul. I hope you aren't going through something like this yourself. Sunnyone Thank you for your blessings. catalinamoon Thank you Sandra for the hugs. When he is drinking, he can be very mean. But, don't worry, I am ok. Gentle Spirit I hope you aren't going through this, too. It is very hard to watch. Right now, he doesn't want help. Thank you. Thank you all for your caring. |
