[hometext] => I think the title of this poem pretty much says everything that needs to be said
[bodytext] => Why do you leave? Is there a reason that you run away every night You escape into your world Drowning in the alcohol Choking on the drugs Your wife, she cries Hoping that you will come home for good It's been 17 years And stil she disalusions herself with hope You daughter, she's done mourning And will wait for you no longer Too many nights she's spent Listening to your drunken madness Too many times you've broken her heart With thoughtless words And empty promises So you sit in your darkness Denying your addiction and taking another hit Don't you wonder why Your daughters eyes are cold Or why she''s never home Think about the ones you've lost And what you've given up For your momentary high That had killed the light in your eyes [comments] => 1 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 23 [informant] => jessie53067 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )
