[bodytext] => “The Vodka” - by J. Samuelson 01/21/2001
With shortness of breath I lie gasping It’s hit me, all that I’ll be missing She just left me, so very abruptly And crushed me, and all of my wishing. Last night, the letter said goodbye Didn’t sink in, ‘till I woke today Aroused drunken sleep in my eyes I broke down, then drank it away. The bottle, like I, hit the floor We shattered together once more I got back up, then fell right back down The tears, and The Vodka still pour. I can’t find my way out of this Everything, is drowning in me Alcohol is sure not the answer But nothing else offers relief. Keep drowning, and drinking away Keep telling myself I’ll get through A couple more hours to midnight I might just survive to day two. The nightfall brings such a silence The liquor is all that will hold me It’s the only thing I belong to It promised to never leave me. I kept thinking you wanted to try You told me but it was a lie You waited two months to tell me Then out of the blue, said goodbye. Must have been an easy decision You made in the blink of an eye You caught me off-guard, unaware Again, I’m starting to cry. You promised yourself if love found you You’d never make that same mistake Of letting it slip away from you A promise to you, you did break. So what was all the I miss you’s? What were the feelings you showed? Just lies, and games of deception? Was I just some stop on your road? This coffee I switched to is bitter It explodes, as it smashes the wall The Vodka will be my best friend now We’ll drown together, and fall. It’s been here with me since last night It’s the only thing that I can keep The Vodka, has kept it’s blurred promise It’s with me, to put me to sleep.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
