The bottle has taken so much from you,
and the alcoholic must always pay his dues.
But there is one thing it can never take,
and that is the fact that you are still you.I know that you've been drowning,
deep down in that glass,
crashing on the same rocks,
on which you take your drinks,
you're barely treading water,
and you're more than ready to sink.
but please do not ever let alcohol,
fail to make you feel or think.And in your darkest of moments,
don't you dare ever forget,
Alcohol has never hidden you,
from me,
I still see you there,
hidden behind the scars,
but, you, my love,
I'd recognize,
even from afar,
and it is because I have you,
soul-deep within my heart
And I know exactly
Who. You. Are.

"Who You Are"
PuisiAddiction... it strips away so much of who a person truly is inside. When you love an addict, you have to grieve the person that is hidden by drugs and alcohol. This poem was written as a reminder to the man I love more than life, of who he truly is.
