A Sip To Slip

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ It was as if her world was spinning, She tried to get hold of herself, As she fell into a nearby couch, She slips into the past in anguish; ~She smiles as He caresses her hand, They met in high school on beach sand, And since then,They`ve been good lovers, Good memories flow in like spring, Theirs was ordained with a circled ring, Until that car crash ,that brought great pain, Johnny`s life was cut short abruptly, ~She woke up,still dazed with sadness, She belched and staggered off to the shelf to pour more~and~slip into oblivion.
