Array ( [sid] => 54685 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Slowly Killing Me [time] => 2004-07-03 22:10:00 [hometext] => Dedicated to my inspiration, my mother, as she's slowly killing me. [bodytext] => Slowly Killing Me

You had seven tonight
In the bathroom all night
Releasing what you took in
Poisoning yourself within
Drowning while consuming
The acrid poison

You havent had sex in a long time
I'd rather you go without
Than do it all the time
With some random guy

You have obligations at home
The unfilled role takes its toll
You live with your mother at forty one
You have a daughter
Not ready to be on her own

You drown your sorrows
For your lost love
The poison is killing you to this day
You should be a role model for me
All I see is something I don't want to be
The only reason you kept me around
Is because I was your flesh and blood

The blood is running thin
As the poison is within
The blood is running thin
Each time I slit my wrist

I remember you throwing up
Going to work
At dawn with a hangover
Wearing a frown as you stumbled about

I remember you killing me slowly
With me inhaling
With me emotionally
With me seeing
Something that repulsed me

You had seven tonight
I wonder which night
You will take your life
As you're slowly killing me [comments] => 4 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 13 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Slowly Killing Me

You had seven tonight
In the bathroom all night
Releasing what you took in
Poisoning yourself within
Drowning while consuming
The acrid poison

You havent had sex in a long time

You have obligations at home

The poison is killing you to this day
You should be a role model for me

Something that repulsed me

You had seven tonight

Oh my,what a heartwrenching write this was to read...If you only knew how I feel bad for you,how I wish I could find those words to say to you to comfort the pain inside,but unfortunately I can't,I don't really know what to say and I don't think there's much I can say either on such a delicate topic.I strongly believe though that whatever was not received will be received later.And a kind heart like yours is sure to be rewarded.May God bless you and your write was excellent...Hope I put a little sunshine in your heart somewhere,
Pumpkinpie

I liked this. It is a powerful write.

It's hard when you lose your innocence and discover that your parents
have feet of clay and are slave to the same human weaknesses
as everyone else.

My only advice is, If you're old enough, get the Hell out
of there!

Go make a life for yourself and don't let anyone victimize you
into watching helplessly as they destroy themselves on the drink.
