Til Nothing But Pain Remains

Addiction

The bottle
magic elixer
drained each night
liquid emotion
feelings of worth
passion, love?
fiery warmth
staggers your body
and gives your mind
wings on which to take flight
night after desperate night
year after lonely year
liquid comfort
numbing
the effect
false joy.

Empty bottle
pounding head
mourning the morning
sun
a heart heaves a volumious
liquid of soured emotion
as vacant eyes watch it splatter
on the pavement
Morning after desperate morning
year after empty year
afloat on
the river of drink
that leads to the grave
Til nothing but pain remains

Powerful and strong write here. Deeply emotive with a lot of feelings in it.
