Douglas Pederson Poet Rhyme

Loyalty In a Bottle

my heart  slain by  truth
from a voice that drunk vermouth
he looked me in the eye
“forgive me for I have told you a lie”

my mind is  damp  and frail
too much liquor and ale
I’ve drown my loyalty so still
it was not meant to kill

I confess my wrong I am to blame
don’t want to die with my life in shame
if I can’t be forgiven  I’ll be on my way
although my love for spirits again will slay
