The Stages Of Grief
A Poem
Ice, ice,
The bringer of life;
How can I go on without you?
*****
Gin, gin,
The bringer of sin;
Life's meaningless without you
*****
Pray, pray,
The bringer of day,
For I can go on without you
*****
Lies, lies,
The bringer of guise;
The truth comes out without you
*****
Pain, pain,
The bringer of rain;
My tears still fall without you.
*****
Author's Note: This poem was loosely inspired by a dream of a friend who recently died as a long-term result of drugs and alcohol. If you are struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism, please reach out to anyone you can for help, before it's too late.
