Drunk poetry

A poem I wrote about drinking, while absolutely wrecked. Quite a nasty habit..

I know that drinking doesn’t solve my problems

Nor does it make me feel better

Every bitter shot I take

I am reminded of a much sweeter taste

Ever glass I fill 

I remember how I was once filled

Then I empty the glass

Seeing how the good times did not last 

Transparency through calamity 

Caused by what I drink

No matter how much I swallow

I continue to think 

I think of good that has become bad

Memories that make me sad

While also reminiscing about memories that were never had

Though I wish I did not drink

I can not help but think 

Of a love that is gone

Using liquor to numb the pain 

As an old man in need of a cane 

I continue to walk in vain 

Every step taking me farther away from what I want 

Though closer to what was lost 

Deep within my heart 

As I write this 

I am drunk 

As I read this 

I am not 

I have still not forgot

What my life could have been

So I always end up drinking again
