Original Poem -- Hungover On You
As the morning sun comes shining through.
I once again find myself, hungover you.
This new day begins like all those before.
Bearing all my shame as I lay here on the floor.
The pounding in my head in rhythm with my heart.
Ever hopeful that today could be a new start.
Every motivational thought I muster ends up being hollow.
I know once night returns, I'll have to face another bottle.
As the alcohol flows through me and my memories start to fade.
I force myself remembrance to when I thought we had it made.
As I roll later into the night with my sadness drowned and suppressed.
My utter regret of letting you go is always sooner or later addressed.
Drinking is what I depend on and the only way I manage to get by.
Although I will never forget you, night after night I try.
I can feel my health declining and farther down I continue to go.
Each day is a constant surprise because I have managed to find a new low.
As I end this one-way conversation, the same way that I now end most.
I pop open a brand new bottle, fill my glass and raise it to toast.
"To the man out there who has found love, never take your hold off of her heart.
Once you do you can lose it so quickly and you may then find yourself playing my part."
Powerful...jpiper i had a close friend who died of terminal cancer throught alcohol so your poem brang a tear to my eyes.
That really means a lot. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
I hope your friend pulls through.

Damn that is a sad one. I've been there. Took me a long time to forgive myself.
This one was wrote about a very close friend.
So sad and so true!
