The Bottle , by Joseph W Cartlidge Subscribe to rss feed for Joseph W Cartlidge

It could be 72 and sunny, but to me it'd still seem gray, so
I get lost in a bottle, and my pain it fades away. 
I know it's temporary, alcohol induced bliss, but when my
mind is faded, I don't think of who I miss. 
I know I have a problem, this much I know is true, but I sit
at home, all alone, it helps me make it through.
I wish I could be happy, when my head is clear, but when my
minds not altered, I wish the end was here. 
They say time heals all wounds, I don't think that is right,
I've been abandoned two years now, I still can't sleep at
night. 
With all the loves I've lost, happiness can't be found, I
mean my family left, my sister died, and I'm missing 80
pounds. 
I'm just an empty shell, of who I used to be, in just two
years, all I've endured has been hell on earth to me.
