In a state of disrepair...

One night I came in
Pupils pinpricked
And feeling quite sick

"You're using"
She said then
just assuming

I tried once to explain
I have no problem or "habit"
Just a... security blanket

She didn't buy it then
So issued an ultimatum
And pecked like a hen

"Choose me or that"
At her own court
The jury she sat

I chose the girl
And was left with
A blanket to furl

Yes, it worked
For a day or two
Then it just hurt

I went and got high
Now I'm alone
The girl said "Goodbye"

Then I needed a friend
So I got high again
The circle will never end

I wish that it would
I wish that I could
just stop... but I can't.

"The world won't end in darkness, it'll end in family fun
With Coca Cola clouds behind a Big Mac sun."

One God by The Beautiful South

this one hits home as I myself am a recovering alcoholic and I know how it feels to not be able to stop...and to lose precious things

Yes I know how it feels too. (also a recovering alcoholic) Like passing shadows said this one really hit home.

It makes me think of the things I lost and the things that I can't fix without the aid of time.

Thankyou for sharing!

just a share for you LT

My Name Is Dixie

Hello. My name is Dixie
and I am an alcoholic.
I am here to rid my life
of this thing so diabolic.

I don't want to talk about
those things I'm shameful of,
how I've made a mess of everything
and cold forsaken love.

I don't want to admit
to being selfish and a fool,
don't want to cry about it anymore
or tell you I've been cruel.

I don't want to question
my belief in God and His ability
to clear my heart and help me see
the way to getting back to me.

I don't want to reason
or make excuses,
I don't want the pain
that this drug induces.

But facing life sober
doesn't seem to be the cure-
my name is Dixie and I'm dying slow...
and that is all I know
for sure.
