You help me not to feel a thing (I'm never alone with you) My one release Escape from this pain (take me away) You help me not to feel a thing How I cope The fluid (the pain) Never against me (help me) Get me through this You never let me feel a thing You've just created A monster January 7th 2009 Emily Shives |

Interesting piece and very nicely done. I can feel the desperation in this piece, The longing for help and the disgust at getting it, Excellently written |

I found this poem interesting. It is so true of booze, but I reread it substituting other intoxicants that the poem could just as easily have been about: religion, love, drugs, sex, power. Thanks for posting it. poetry podcasts, blogs and photopoems at URL= http://anthonyarmstrong.ca |
