Torn Sonnet

torn sonnet
We fell asleep while singing,
then you tell me only I did, I did,
in useless murky glow.
You were fine till last sip,
then you said I was Europe,
and he was New Mexico.

You said you were aware.
Then you realised you weren't there.
Then you blame the whisky,
the whisky was nowhere.

You saw my eyes were intoxicant.
There was harm in my stare.
Then you blame the whisky.
The whisky was in the air

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I'm not sure I understood a 100% of it, but I think it's great anyway
