Dear Mr Alcohol Poem by Donna Saphier

I was young when we first met
I thought you were the best
We spent every day together
And we never stopped to rest

We had a great relationship
No-one could drag us down
Stayed up all night partying
The first love I had found

I forgot about my other friends
You were my Number One
I loved you unconditionally
My love for you, you'd won

But then as I got older
I said we'd have a break
But I was weak and vulnerable
My heart would surely break

Then you made me spend my money
You stopped me paying bills
Then I lost my family
And I started taking pills

Then I found I had no friends
I'd lost them all through you
I thought you were my best friend
Now I know what thought can do


I need you more, than you need me
Thought we always would be friends
You don't care what you've done to me
And on you I now depend

You slowly watched me dying
You watched me fall apart
Is this the end of our relationship
Now that you've broke my heart

I feel my body dying
But it still cries out for you
Thank-you Mr Alcohol
For what you've put me through.
