Sediment

Its to your health I drink today
And you can drink to mine
If you feel better than ok
Whatever wine is fine
But there’s a sediment I see
Down at the bottle base
So shall I drink up to degree
That saves the same old taste?
How come the sediment appeared
Don’t ask, for I don’t know
You are my darling love, my dear
And you remain as so
You lost respect for me, so what
I have to do about it
You cannot tolerate a lot
What I can live without 
So to the bottom I shall drink
You won’t take any care
You flopped a word, it had to sink
This sediment I share.
