Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Husband's a Drunk

An alcoholic I live with,

A good wife to a husband who

Thinks his problem is just a myth.

For years his drinking we've lived through.

Oft his behavior has been bad.

So sorry he always does say.

It's useless for me to stay mad.

I hope his drinking stops someday.

We raised the kids who've left the house.

I still love him and so still be

Willing to let him be a souse.

But I've found others to help  me.

I have support now in my life

To help me stay a loving wife.
