Drunken Tears

For my uncle

Your Drunken tears.

Do they mean something?

Your way to let the pain out?

Does the beer drown out,

the pain with words.

If so when will I hear them?

Stop hurting yourself!

You're hurting me!

It pains my heart to see you,

drowning your depression.

I LOVE YOU!

But not your drunken tears.

I'm almost crying!
This poem made me think of a close friend who had a similar problem.
I really hope you find a way to help your uncle through this.
So sad, yet so beautiful.
:( tearing up. Can't stop myself from crying!
This very strong piece makes you think of the people who go through these things and
don't have loving family members like you to help them get through the bad times.
It makes you wonder.

Keep writing! You are a great writer!
