Poem : He Needs to Sober Up
I know that you wish you knew
that long after the woo,
the man would become aggressive
and call himself progressive.
He would disrespect you
at every turn
and act like
there is a lesson to learn.
He will dictate that
you have to stay in keeping
with what he is teaching.
Well, I am here to remind you
that you are empowered
in your own thinking.
If there is one thing that you can give
to that man,
it should be the suggestion
to quit drinking.
His breath has been stinking
with the putrid alcohol
and he is only trying to gall,
to speak a lot of drivel,
gibberish and nonsense.
When he does this,
he builds more than just a fence.
He builds a brick wall
through which you can
not communicate at all.
When he sobers up,
then maybe you can
talk about what is up.

Thanks so much for your comments. Alcoholism is sad, very sad, as is drug abuse. These things just destroy lives.

I can't imagine what it takes to live with someone having an addiction. Patience is truly a virtue!

Powerful words. Ive never personally dealt with an alcoholic, but I don't like being drunk or around people who are. I can't imagine living with someone never sober. He definitely needs to sober up. Maybe when she's gone.
