Intoxicate Poem by suja nair

When the darkness fades away,

When there is a ray of hope still along,

When peace I feel, just thinking of the moment

The immense sadness the intense pain...



It was then I was happy, you left me,

I started Living after that day....

When I realized you will never come back into my life,

It is then I felt life at peace, Life beautiful....



Those days were the worst...

I wonder how was it I tolerated...

The door bell giving me a shiver...

A pain, deep in my heart.....



The days I would pray, God just take him away...

For life is hell living with him,

The fear in the children's eyes,

Would want me to, just do, just do it...



But the fear of the aftermath....

Life of many after me,

Those who depend on me, Live because of me

Would make me think....



I would tolerate anything, and its over

Everything's over, there is peace every where

there is calmness all around,

the day you left was a feast for us....



It was a blessing for us, my prayers were answered,

We could live without fear, sleep the night through...

It was then I thought, I must give a better life...

It was then I wished, with all my heart...



Why at all do people drink, why ever they ruin families,

Why is it that it is sold, why ever they get it,

Why cant we do something, stop this intoxication,

save families, save the future and the people at large..
