The Alcoholic

By Sara Lauridsen

So much screaming
Fighting
Shards of broken glass
On the floor
Tears shed
Unkind words said
I have to duck
As another empty bottle
Flies towards me
Your eyes are glazed over
Too much to drink
I cry for you to stop
But you can't hear me
Alcohol is pulsing through you
What happened to the person
I used to know
The provider
The caretaker
In a sense, the sane one
But that person is gone now
A shot of whiskey here
A bottle of wine there
It all adds up
To one monstrous explosion
I'm frightened for you
You're addicted now
An alcoholic
And I feel so helpless
Watching you shout
And gulp back
Another can of beer
You have no idea what you're saying
Or doing
Please, just stop.
