Lost Tears (An Ode To Children Of Alcoholics) Comments

I can really relate to this, my father was a violent alcoholic, no child should ever have to go through it, but if you do go through it, it can take a lot of getting over. A fantastic poem. take a look at my poem called boy to a man, it tells of what happens when you can't take seeing your mother getting beat anymore.

Oh Frank! I hear the children cowering in the night and the tears falling like silent volcanic bombs into carpets across the land. I come from a background that exposed me to many of the horrors you describe and perpetuated one or two myself before I woke up. For what it's worth I am an atheist, we all chose the best way for ourselves, but I love your poem.10/10 Martin O' Neill.
