I drink myself into a drunken state As the world floats off without me I rub elbows with the Queen of Hearts While tears start to stream down my face Always wearing my heart on my sleeve Just waiting to get hurt Taking another drink Ever pain seems better than the last I'm living my life without you Today I held back from picking up the phone and calling you Just to tell you how I felt I'm sure that you are tired of hearing by now though Taking another drink I take a walk through my head to find out why I have to feel this way When is it my turn to just be loved Hold me and tell me that my crying is not going to last forever Oh, you aren't here You won't be here for a long time Days on days of waiting Taking another drink My heart hurts It bleeds for you Tonight the drinking must stop I go to take another drink Put the glass down and walk away I think that this time I'm going to just pick up the phone and call you Love, Lady Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |

You're probably not in the mood for this considering the sense of your poem...but when I saw the title, I instantly thought of writing one called: One Drunk Knight After Another I just may get mischievous enough to do it, too. ;o} |

Lady, this is so sad. I hope it's your imagination, if not love to you and hope things work out soon. Dee I wish you every happiness and pray you'll always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

walk away from the drink..call and at least get an answer of some sorts..then move ahead.....but don't go back to the drink..thoughts can make one drunk enough...huggzzzzzz ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Abstain is the only answer but it's not that hard to achieve...the acetaldehyde toxins affect your genetic structure and you have to realize what is happening physically in order to combat the difference in thinking that is experienced by the habitual drinker compared with the ordinary non addicted drinker...I have a few thousand more things I could say about this......take care The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

I wrote this piece after one drunk night. It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I had to step back and take a look at myself and the loneliness that I was feeling. Noone has hurt me, so I'm not heartbroken, but I'm heartsick, because I'm in a situation that I was before as far as long distance relationship thing. I hate it and I hope to see him again soon. VAS- Actually, I am in the mood for something uplifting in spirit. I think that read One Drunk Knight would be wonderful and that is my challenge to you. Please let me know when you write it. Dee- It is not my imagination. It is my life. I was just really lonely and really hurting and the only thing that I did was drink to forget it and later I was sober and understanding it. It didn't take the pain away, it was just a time reliever. nakdthoughts-I understand I will do that. As a matter of fact I will do that right now. Or if I don't get an answer then I will email. ethome- Please don't hesistate to email and exaggerate about what you started to say. I think that all the emotional support that I get the better. That is why I love my Netpoets so much. Distance makes the heart grow stronger they say. Thank you all for reading. Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. |

I just want to say I am in awe of your courage to state what you have in the open..and I know Ethome is a good source of help...I, myself rarely drink...I am high on life when it allows me to be, but I have been and am still entangled with a husband who does, and once you get enough into your system, Ladycat, it will take over your every waking thought..so please...do it for yourself because no one else can, and the fact that you wrote about it proves you care about yourself..many many huggssss to you. ~Wynter/Maureen |

My heart is with you. And? may we both find strength through courage. Sometimes? I think that my image of hell? is an infinite raucous party and you go there? HUNGOVER. One for my library. Thank you. |

Feel free to email me. I, like ethome, could go on for days (about the long distance thing too). This was quite intense. |

"I take a walk through my head" yeah, call him. why not? life is short... but do it before you start drinking... trust me on this one... lol  oh, and the poem is the type of poetry which i like to read because it seems so honest and sincere and about real life.....nice job.

very honest and real, I don't drink anymore, but I sure could use something right about now,.....enjoyed this! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |
