i was weak

is what she said

‘cos i quit the drinking

all because

i could not quit her

with a wet brain attitude

get my strength

back together until then

tho’ i could see

her long twisted road

coming up ahead

how it led to nothing

& the fork coming

pointing a better day

tho’ that looked shrouded

a dark lonely way

if there was

a brighter horizon

possible there

easier hours

than the dramas

with her & the booze

combined
