You lie there, solid and firm,
as onlookers gawk and comment on how good you turned out. They did such a good job, they whisper, like white plaster thrown on hard walls, you just take it. How you love to hold hands, but not your own, the Rosary Beads d r a p e loosely cross spindly fingers, like drops from tears cried dry. In the bed you made, you lie cold, a hard box unlike the feathery soft mattress you once fell into. Consumed by a lifelong toxic cloud, sucking in, you lie ravaged and still. Oh, but for just one more breath of clean air. ·······  ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Hello Aphro,
Addictions, no matter which one, are difficult creatures. I have friends and acquaintances who succumbed to alcohol, and accepting that takes a bit of doing sometimes. Best Merlin ······· ······· |

QUOTE (Merlin @ Nov 4 09, 06:50 )  Hello Aphro, Addictions, no matter which one, are difficult creatures. I have friends and acquaintances who succumbed to alcohol, and accepting that takes a bit of doing sometimes. Best Merlin Hi Merlin, Thanks for commenting on my poem. It is very hard to watch someone you love fade away. I am sorry for your experience with this. Happy holidays to you.
