~dearest friend~limerick rake

   
   
I hope to never again disappoint with my ink    
we've walked this rocky poetic path together    
for so long now you have been the voice of reason    
   
you've seen me embracing recovery    
also witnessed my slow demise    
as I put a drug and alcohol noose around my neck    
then kicked the chair beneath me    
   
you've always been straight up with me    
told me how it was and I want you to know it's deeply felt    
   
you'll know this is for you    
you're my port in the storm    
the reason I stay    
though I understand you won't watch as I kill myself    
   
i'm away from the party house I wanted you to know    
and i'm not going back    
doesn't mean I won't take a nip of liquor here and there    
   
my sanity always tentative needs careful balancing    
I know i'm strong willed and ugly at times    
didn't want to bother you directly    
so I wrote this poem of sorts to let you know where i'm at in my head    
   
yesterday was a little bit of a whiskey day    
today stone sober    
been going through some rough times personally    
though aren't we all    
   
just know you're always spoken highly of by me    
no matter what the crazies think I put them in their place    
when you give me a wee bit of a critique whoopin    
I say damn right that's my friend    
   
so tonight i'm listening to the Limerick Rake thinking of you    
my oldest and dearest friend here    
with the fondest of thoughts    
thank you for being true to your heart with me    
   
no this isn't poetry my friend    
it's my heart lay bare
