the beating pains no longer sharp
the sceams no longer loud

my eyes no longer scan the room
for an escape that cant be found

i no longer fill my head with
thoughts and dread

my face no longer shows the fear
i've forgotten how to feel

my empty bottle of vodka
on the floor at my feet

just as liquor brought the beatings
liquor also brought my healing...





......if only for the moment
