Ciao !

Living with a drunk will eventually kill even the strongest of bonds.

So why stay?


She hangs on mainly because the thought to be suddenly alone scares her more than living in a loveless relationship.

If they had kids, she might actually find the courage to leave for their sack.

Ciao!

    Thank you for reading and rating my poem. Sadly, you said a mouthful of truth with this statement~She hangs on mainly because the thought to be suddenly alone scares her more than living in a loveless relationship. Many women and men stay hoping for better soaked in alcohol.

Welcome and congrats on your debut poem.
A sad reality for so many. Love does not die as easily as people think. Loneliness is a glue holding many a fractured relationship together.

Hi and welcome to Fanstory! So glad you entered this contest. I think you did a great job in creating a picture of the lonely narrator for us in just these three lines. One thing that the contest requires is it " must address a loved one." So you might want to edit so it addresses the husband.
Best wishes!

It is such a simple poem and yet it carries SO MUCH meaning. I really enjoyed it, although it made me quite sad, which I personally think means it was very, very good. Good luck with your writing.
