Last drink

by Vanessa   Apr 16, 2007


I see it just like it was yesterday
I feel it, the pain will never go away
I am there standing by my mothers side
trying so hard to hide
all the bare emotions coming from my heart
My entire world just fell apart
when that call came in
I just knew it was the end
my cousins tried to hold me, as I dropped the phone
I was so sad, I felt like I was all alone
I had known that is was coming, death was on its way
I just didn't know what part I would play
I ran outside and looked up in the sky
I could not help but to cry
Still sometimes I find myself
Looking on the shelf
starring absently at the picture, I have sat there
My future seems so bare
without your fatherly advice
Telling me to be nice
every time I want to twist off in the worst way
I really don't know what to say
In my head I see you there, in your Little box
I desperately wish we could have our Little talks
I know that you were troubled and so sad
that's why it hurt me so bad
to just try and let it go
But I think there was still somethings you did not know
Like the love of a woman who was true
A person that was a perfect match for you
I realize you could not see
That your drinking didn't set you free
It only made things worse
You ended up in a hearse
Because you never took the time
to just clear your mind
you let everything get inside you skin
trying to kill the demons within
I wish to hell you would have just held on
But I guess you weren't that strong

    This one nearly made me cry too.
    If its true, I'm sorry for your lose.
    The poem flowed well and the emotion was deep.
    Keep it up 5/5

    The last comment says "sorry about you mom"...I thought it was your dad...???
    Anyways..I thought it was very well written (but punctation always makes a poem better). The flow was great and it was full of emotion.. Wonderfully written..
    And if this poem is about your life.. I am sorry you had to go through this.. I too have been through a lot..(Neither parents died.. they are just addicts that found beer and drugs more important than their kids.. Life seems to never get easier but writting helps to release your feelings... Great job hun..
    ~Tyanna~ BTW 5/5
