Poem: A Dark Room and a Fifth

A Dark Room and a Fifth

A dark room
And a fifth
All I need
To cope with the pain

Let the tears flow
Dull the senses
Slur my thoughts
Pass out and dream again

Scream at the world
Scream at myself
Throw the bottle to the wall
Teary eyes look at the broken glass

Vent my frustrations
Drown the pain
Let the alcohol flow
Stumble on my ass

A dark room
And a fifth
Liquid pain relief
To drown my sorrows

The pain stops
If only for tonight
But I knowI'll pay for it tomorrow
