Chelsey, This is an outstanding poem. Alcohol Makes us do horrible things. I was an alcoholic for a long time. Great flow and Passion 5/5

I can relate to this Chels, you know that.
But you know what? You're stronger than you think, and drinking is not the answer (trust me), don't try and block things out, make mistakes, you'll only cause yourself more hurt.

Love sucks, love hurts, but it's healthier than hate, don't go down that road...remember what you have, and know you don't need a man to make you better than you are, because you are you, and you're amazing...

Hugs and love

Damn.

I'm speechless because I can relate so well. Being that girl... the girl who drinks and flirts with other guys just to get her mind off of the one who is the only one who matters.

Alcohol can be a release at times, but usually one leads to seven, and then a good night turns to a bad one.

I don't know if this is a real situation or just one of those writes that is inspired by someone/something else... but it touched me... I love the images you portrayed, the girl flirting with her eyes... and then maybe flashbacks of staring into his eyes while feeling the buzz... wishing it was him that she was with. All hits home for me.

Fantastic write!

I would normally crack a joke ...

But for once I won't :)

This was truly amazing I loved the scene
You have set her , I got this as someone
Who has lost someone and in a drinker state
She dives into the arms of another man,
For comfort??? To feel loved!???

There is so many reasons but sometimes
Feeling as tho your heart is fixed is better then
Feeling the pain of braking ( in some people's eyes)

A simple piece compared to your others
But this packs a punch .

Awesome

( for a blonde ) :p

My bad :)

Judging comment:

"Love the first few lines as I think we can all relate or have been able to relate at one point or another. Who doesn't turn to the less favourable coping mechanisms when someone we love leaves us? "The only 'wasted' that would come about is time... wasting as we stare." I find this line to be incredibly bittersweet and it allows me to reminisice of thouse first days with a loved one when you can't get enough of each other and want to spend every second with them, even if you're not actually doing anything important. I also like the subtle repetition here. Last two verses are what moved me the most. We try so hard, so often, to pretend we have moved on when we are far from doing so and that is captured perfectly here-that love lingers even if you're attempting your best to pretend that it doesn't. Lovely work. "
