One Father’s Wrong Turn

He used to say, just one drink,

It’s practically, a modernity;

And who would think?

That one drink, lasted an eternity.

Some are the same, after that drink;

He was once, so sweet.

Others turn out to be, someone you’d never think.

But now, he seems to be, discrete.

That drink affected way more than, just one;

Sadly, we were the only ones,

In this situation, nobody won.

And this was just the beginning, of tons.

One drink, turned into, seven or eight,

He completely changed.

Which, caused some hate.

He was basically, deranged.

He spoke on his desire to change.

Lie after lie,

Although, his mind, was not in the same range.

But he didn’t realize, he could die.

We got a call saying, everything went wrong;

All the pain we tried to fend,

All of this, in the late fall.

We really thought it was, the end.

Till this day he fights,

The battle is drudgery;

To be concise,

He lives now for recovery.

Alcohol withdrawal,

It’s very serious,

You may not think you’ll fall,

But the outcome is mysterious.
