A poem youll never hear
Just another drop love, just another glass.
Just another bottle , im sure that this one will last.
Just another day gone , just another week ,
Its only here and there love, its just to help me sleep.
Its just another month where ive felt a little stressed
And ive needed it to get me by and decide on what is best,
Its just another argument , that I cant remember now ….
I know that you were crying , but I don’t know what about.
Its only been a few years , where ive been a little depressed,
And that glass that used to help me sleep now seems to cause unrest
But I know that I can stop , when it needs to be addressed
So lets not get all worked up , over something in a glass.
Its just another memory , its just another dream
A bit of my self confidence , a drop of my self esteem
Its just another panic attack , self doubt and anxiety
The loss of friends and hobbies that made me , really me
Its only two children , that both chose to move away
My daughter and my friend , my best in many ways
I think she tried to help me , but in the end she couldn’t stay
Its only one that I have , one daughter to share my life
But if I had to chose at this stage , I think its best to carry on the lies
Its only another few years for me , ive only got to retire
I haven’t any mortgage and my mother seems alright
And im too tired to start something new or think about addiction
And its safe and warm inside my house where I cant feel my own afflictions.
Because its just one more glass love , please tell me why your weeping,
Why don’t you have one with me , its so much easier than thinking
I love you , don’t be silly , don’t ever question that ,
Im not trying to hurt you , I love you , please come back.

Agree with Cynthia, shorter cleaner lines would make this incredibly powerful.
Well done, HannahMary
