A Toast To a Girlfriend's Ghost

Crisp
Cherished Mix
A sip or two
Silky smooth
Today's taste
What a waste
Here's a toast
To a girlfriends' ghost
Alone, alone again
Never was, never been
Rum n' Cokes
Coat this throat
Chest burning fire
This desire?
A longing?
"Wrong!"
The Voice inside
"Don't miss what's gone"
Lies!
Time will tell
Let's drink for a spell
Relax, just relax
"She's never coming back"

Very sad and expressed in a unique way. Somehow I feel this poem can be expanded and be so much more. I hope you consider that, if you do please let me know I would love to read more and have you peel back more layers. Either way I like your poem.

Great title and enjoyed the winding down to acceptance of something that is final. suZ
