Click hereThe dependency I have for you
the effect you have on me
destroying my life
you call me back for more
to perform this nightly ritual
you cloak yourself in fun and games
with all your empty promises of glory days
all the while you bring me down
devouring me from within
consuming my whole world
leaving my liver full of disease
with a broken heart and broken home
empty bottles thrown on the floor
a life now lays in ruin
oh this grip u have on me
one day I know I'll break free
I would like to thank AGIRL2ENVY for help with this poem

"empty bottles thrown on the floor" is a good line, because it gives the reader an image. There are many poems about alcohol and personal tragedies, so it helps to make your poem stand out by adding personal details about places, scents, sounds, etc.
If you write another poem on this topic, or any topic, try to personalize it with details like the one above.
Thanks for sharing your poetry and experience.
