Death by Poison - (alcoholism)

Tainted water you once drank seeking to quench uncomprehensed thirst. As quickly as it came eager cells devoured it's substance and into your soul this poison liquid it spread. Unceasingly, unceasingly your throat it burned with vigour and your tongue it swelled until you were choking for air. A little second's satisfaction came at high cost for more and more you drank until into oblivion your soul was beyond repair. You died and lived, died again yet continued to live only to understand that your only understanding was your desperate desire to want to understand. You know not still nor ever would you know... For soon enough it took too far and your empty soul 'twas filled with hollow and endless ominous death's sweet bitter embrace.

Beautifully written Kassie

Beautifully written Kassie and with true empathy. My sister Catherine died as a result of Chronic Alcoholism, age only 52. She struggled with it for 20 years or more and finally lost the battle. She tried many times to change, but her life failed her and she always went back to the bottle and her body couldn't take any more abuse. Her mind was intact but not her body...Thank you for this write. Rosina xena465
