Withdraw

Cold night sweats
making me ill
simple calmness
begging, be still
 
Shakes and shivers
trying to contain  
fear envelops
seizures of pain
 
Acute senses
too much to bear
emotions return
sensing their stare
 
Fearing death
excruciating withdraw
drink again
unable to stall
 
Shame and guilt
comprehended
feeling well
not apprehended
