Comfort

[SimplyTree]

Comfort
I hope you find solace
hidden somewhere deep
in the recesses of your
glass.

The unkind words that
rolled off your sweet tongue
after you imbibed tore my
heart in two.

I've walked this road
before with someone
other than you.

Walking away then
was so much easier than
it has been now.

Have you found the
comfort that sought?

Where shall I go
to seek mine because
all of my addictions
I have left behind?

You pushed and you
shoved against my love
when the alcohol flowed hot
through your veins.

I held on so tight to you ... so
tightly but it was like
trying to hold onto the stem
of a thorny rose during a tornado.

Again I ask you, have you
found the comfort that you
sought?

Where shall I find mine?

My comfort lay in your arms
and your kind, sober words that were
a salve to my battered soul.

That's all gone now...

My only comforts are my
prayers whispered to God
late at night when I'm on my
knees in my bedroom floor.

Is there comfort in the cool
liquid flowing down your
throat that makes your head
pound and your stomach
heave the next morning?

Comfort...is that what you
sought hidden somewhere
deep in the recesses of your
glass?
