A sad story of addiction.

Mary Alice loved her man, for him there was no bigger fan There was nothing she didn’t love about Jack His shape, his taste, his smell He swept her away like a bat outta hell All of it made her warm, loose, even hot He made her laugh with each shot Joyful and happy when together, an impossible dream, an inseparable team Her friends begged Mary Alice They meant no malice Leave him and leave soon If you don’t you may never see June Mary Alice feels his passion, his allure, his attraction On her knees, she looks up to him, she smiles coyly Then guides Jack into her mouth Deliberate and slow, swirling her tongue to savor his flavor They found them both the next day because she let Jack stay Dead on the couch, only heaven’s pull could take her higher Assaulted by the stench of whiskey wafting like smoke from fire At once together and alone, Jack Daniels and Mary Alice
