Chemical Bonds
Your hangover is worse than any alcohol
more addictive than any pill
I come back time after time
just to have my arms to fill
Pour me another drink
I'll empty another glass
numbness bond to my DNA
the room spins and I collapse
All doubts have been forgotten
only liquid ether in my veins
a single resonance of your touch
ushered by the whisper of your name
I lose myself in uncertainty
let go and sink beneath
You may cradle my body gently
but my heart is between your teeth
Bottle our tears and ire
and let them ferment with time
hide it until we meet again
and share another bottle of wine
more addictive than any pill
I come back time after time
just to have my arms to fill
Pour me another drink
I'll empty another glass
numbness bond to my DNA
the room spins and I collapse
All doubts have been forgotten
only liquid ether in my veins
a single resonance of your touch
ushered by the whisper of your name
I lose myself in uncertainty
let go and sink beneath
You may cradle my body gently
but my heart is between your teeth
Bottle our tears and ire
and let them ferment with time
hide it until we meet again
and share another bottle of wine

Thank you. Being in a relationship with an alcoholic writer never ceased to have a lack of muse, luckily I got out of it before I got in over my head.

Good for you that you are young still and can recognize when something is bad for you and do something about it. I still struggle.
It's been a long road, especially since I started young. I have been way out of my depth relationship-wise since I was about 14. Being still young, but jaded, at nearly 26 I can look back and learn from my past transgressions and exercise those demons through writing. Since I began using writing as a self-discovery tool I have put a lot of the past to rest and mortified myself in the process.
On a lighter note I am happy to report that my 2 year wedding anniversary to my beloved husband is coming up on October 31st. Without his support and patience for my emotional mood swings as well as my pen and paper I dread the thought of where and who I would be now.
Shaunda, stay strong and keep writing. I wish you the best.

thank you and Happy Hallows Anniversery. I bet you have great anniversery parties.
It took me 30 years to come to terms as to what I was doing to myself drug wise. You are doing really good. Writing has been my drug of choice of late and I will stay strong. Thank you for the great write.
