I am going to write a full blog post about this because it was such a hard part of my drinking days to deal with. I lost so many good friends who I ended up having some kind of misunderstanding with. I just felt so disconnected from the rest of the world and I didn’t understand the way that it operated. This made it really hard to hand onto the special people because I just couldn’t understand their reasoning and they couldn’t understand mine.
You hurt me more than words can say,
I did not do a single thing,
In the starting of that fray.
Everything was down to you.
The painful words and twisted face.
None of it was even true.
None of it was down to me,
I’d never hurt a loving friend,
Despite the fact we disagree.
But it is me who must be right,
I’m perfect, blameless,
But always ready for the fight.
I hope that one day I will find,
Another person on this earth,
Who’ll love my spotless drunken mind.

Writing a poem is the best way to express emotions. I have not written any for long time. I should definitely try it again.

You’re a very talented writer. Losing friends is a hard thing to go through for anyone and you’ve really managed to accurately capture the feelings that can come with this.

That must have been difficult for you to write and possibly harder to share – but I’m pleased that you did
