Poetry: Alcoholism

by Ryan Athorn

Created on: February 03, 2010

Last Orders

There’s a pressure on my chest,
And I put it there,
Soon I’ll clutch my heart and wonder,
Why those around me only stare.

I have that liquid on the brain,
And it’s limiting my days,
Soon I’ll fold to ground so slowly,
And they’ll all avert thier gaze.

Of course, I’m gone and sorry now,
I was an ignorant, stubborn soul,
And on my grave they vandalized,
“Well, we told you so”.
