Poety to my ex
 

My girlfriend recently broke up with me due to my alcoholism and drug addictions (and the behaviour that usually accompanies the disease). I am in a treatment center for 80 days. Here is the poem I wrote for her when I first fell in love;

Out of my darkness
I saw you arise
With the fire in your soul
Mirrored by thy brown eyes

For all the years I've
Spent twisting in the wind
You have released me
From all of my sins

Now free, let's
laugh and dance
let's engage in
sweet romance

Things are better, I'm 20 days clean.
Drugs and alcohol DO NOT help creativity,
they stifle it.
Diatribe ended.

Good work. On the poem and 20 days. It's a hard struggle, but keep at it. it will be worth it in the end.

Excellent work, soulful, deep, and descriptive

Congrats on staying clean. Hang in there. Its one step at a time.

Good poem!
And congratulations on the 20 days!!!! that is very cool!!
