Drowning In My Wine

***For the record, I DO NOT SUPPORT DRINKING AWAY MY PROBLEMS FOR ANY REASON, I JUST WROTE THIS POEM AND THAT IS ALL! .....Ok, maybe I drank a little when I was writing this poem, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND DRINKING TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS!! Again this was a poem I wrote for my book, anyway, please enjoy this next poem, "Drowning in My Wine" Drowning away my sorrows, Just so I can stop crying, So I can stop thinking about you. Drinking the tears away, With the luscious taste of my wine. As I sit here, Drinking and indulging, Forgetting you more and more, As you disappear from my mind, I am crying, And laughing; And your memory fades… The wine is my freedom, From your manipulating grasp. The wine is my escape, The wine is my happiness, And is easing my pain. I want to forget I ever loved you, And drown myself in my red river. I am falling into my cup, Swimming away in my sweet pool, Of my dark red prison, Forever in my unreal trance….
