Drinking Wine Can Be a Tragedy

The road was like a flood Just like what was in her head I thought as I stared at the blood And my friend was close to dead That tragic and fateful night When her car was in a wreck And I had a long fight From that shrapnel in my neck She was the killer of her own life This beautiful and brilliant woman A scholar, sister, friend, mom,and wife Taken away from her life's plan What drove her to be no more? It was the lovely red wine That just an hour before Tasty salty and divine As we danced at the party And laughed the night away The drink made me not see That she was starting to sway So when asked if I needed a ride I gladly accepted her offer And as we started to slip and slide In the winter snow that became a blur I still didn't think that I was in danger Luckily I wore my seat belt in her car But I didn't realize that for her Common sense was just too far So as we impacted on the snowbank I heard her and myself scream And when I awoke my heart sank For I was hoping it was all just a dream What I saw before me I can never forget As I watched my friend in the red snow And knew forever I would regret Being too drunk to know
