Drink Me In Poem by Robin Bennett

Drink Me In



Clear as ice that refuses to freeze, yet warms
the body and relaxes a scrambled mind.
Fill the glass, shake or stir, it all bites the same.
Exotic grey goose flies thru the stale, smoky air.
Flocks of those hypnotized by the bird dance with
the bodies of strangers. Most migrate together
into the darkness of blind oblivion.

So many broken glasses lead to heaps of shame.
Drowning sorrows with poison, only a quick fix.
No solutions, no promises, only liquid warmth;
a game with no winners. Alone again, no one
now to hold you, until the screaming is gone.

Chasing a dream in false places. Shackled to a
sobering routine clouded with bloodshot eyes.
Hot showers will not clean the inner layer of
self disgust. Vicious cycle repeated, lessons
never learned. If they ask why, the answer rings
loud. It's only human nature to want to be...
loved.
