Savor Death

So dark, yet so beautiful. The wording is brilliant. Nice work.

Yeah, such a thing can be quite the injustice.  When parents set a bad example, or even worse, it's such a shame.  You capture the topic pretty well with your expression here.  The 1st stanzas really hit home and starts it off for me.  The whole poem captures a certain power of emotion.  I grew up with an alcoholic father, so I know how it is.  Anyway, again, good job.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I'm glad the message was heard. Dealing with alcoholic parents was a huge part of my childhood and has affected my life deeply as well. It's a lot like grieving for the dad or mom you never had.

Yeah, I hear that.  I never had a good relationship with my dad.  He was always drunk when he wasn't working.  Our bonding was mostly me listening to him ramble on and on about meaningless drivel and watch him cycle through various emotions and mood swings.  Almost like a bipolar disorder.  Drugs and alcohol really do destroy families.  I feel empathy towards you for having to have dealt with that, as no person ever should.  Anyway, I'll see you around.
