Learning To

Have you
Taken
The Long Slow Dive
Into the bottom
Of the bottle

In your

Serious Attempt
To numb the pain

Dancing with madness
Playing dice
With thee insane

As the Abyss
Waits
Lines appear
For you to snort

And once again
The dance of madness
Begins again

You've climbed
The highest mountains
The oceans deep

You ripped yourself
To peices

And yet
You couldn't Find
Peace

Until the day

You Learned
To Balance
Between Sadness

And Screams
