Array ( [sid] => 85493 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Lucky No. 7 [time] => 2005-02-23 20:27:34 [hometext] => not really much i can say, if you read, you might get the idea. comments really appreciated. [bodytext] => i can turn to you in my time of need,
you're always there to help me through,
i wouldn't survive this world without you,
my mind is just playing tricks on me.

i can pick you up,
hold you in my hands,
taste you on my lips,
my troubles will soon be gone,
but only for now.

when morning comes,
and the light shines into my blood shot eyes,
the memories all flood back.

i need you again!
i need to get my head straight!
but what am i really fighting against?
the depression that makes me drink?
or is it the drink that is making me depressed?

just a bottle of old No. 7,
to wash away the pain,
wash away my darkest secrets,
until another day.

Wow, such deep thinking for someone so young with so much ahead. My husband is an alcoholic of 15 years. He has damaged his organs so much that he moans in his sleep in pain. He tries to quit but never wins that battle. If you want to get married and have kids someday, please take control now.

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. ©
