All That's Left Are The Ashes

Alouette Me Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich


Honey did you care
We matched like a pair 
Now our life is a train wreck
All that's left is smoke
There's bills, and we're broke
You lost your job and paycheck

You will lose the house
And a faithful spouse
Because you couldn't stand tall
You lowered yourself 
Your weed was top-shelf
For your buzz, I took the fall

"Now our life is a train wreck", "For your buzz, I took the fall"—a depiction of the days gone bad. Congratulations!

This is such a sincere and sad poem on a mate's destructive habit ruining things. My daughter is going through something similar right now. But more like him gambling and losing everything they had. Thanks for entering my contest and congrats on your win
