    Perfect flow and great point nobody notices until its to late people think drinking solves everything but after the hangover your right back where you started your just wasting alcohol trying to drown yourself in it but great work

    This was very impressive and sad.
    Think this could really be true in the world of a alcoholist.. Very impressive you could write such situation down.
    When I read this piece, and especially the last two stanza's I hope I'll never get under such influence of alcohol.
    Think there are many people in the world who can relate to this poem.
    Great job.
    Take care

    Good work crazy ending

    The last line makes it seem weak. :/

    the whole poem is great, but it would've ended better with just "tick tock" or "tick tock... oops."

    allowing the reader to wonder a bit. this makes the ending to blatant and obvious, when it is something one would have predicted anyway. I think it would have been better to have left it hanging a bit.

    I agree that you should have had a bit more suspension in the end... but the rest is incredible... somewhat similar to my poem (i am alcoholing)
    keep up all the great work

    First off, I really love the repetition of "Tick, tock", for some reason it added a certain special quality to the poem that I just adore.

    "Reminisce about happier memories past
    raise the glass to poisoned ruby red lips"
    -- These two lines were simply beautiful. They were so simply stated but when I read them they just struck me hard. Amazing. And I love the imagery in "poisoned ruby red lips" -- truly beautiful.

    "Oops, almost out of whiskey, time to find the gin"
    -- An amazing line with a touch of sarcasm, I love it. :]

    "Night's all the same, you're drinking them away
    Just another statistic...how pathetically cliche"
    -- I don't know why but these lines stuck out to me. So sad, yet when I read them I found a hint of sarcasm. Nicely done.

    "Tick Tock...
    Oops, you drank yourself to death."
    -- In my opinion: the perfect ending. That's all I'm gonna say.

    The flow was smooth, the emotions were intense, and your vocabulary was wisely chosen.

    Spectacular job, m'dear. Overall: 5.5
