An empty fridge
stares back at you,
no beer left
to console you.
Your bed is calling
but you can’t hear,
you need some more
to ease your fear.
A bottle of whiskey
grabs your attention,
maybe this can
be your salvation.
You open the bottle
and pour out a measure,
offer up a toast
to the life you don’t treasure.
You’ve lost count
of the chances you wasted
along with all
the cheap alcohol you’ve tasted.
You dread to think
what tomorrow may bring,
you’re not even sure
if it’s summer or spring.
Life has passed you
in the blink of an eye
and you have been left
alone here to die.
Alcohol is indeed “cunning, baffling, and powerful.” What may appear at first to be a solution to your woes soon wraps itself around you and can suffocate you in short order.
