The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Whisky

He took another gulp of whisky
She walked into the room even though she knew it was risky

The words he said were slurred
He grabbed another bottle and that was his third

He stood upon the floor
His voice was like a roar

Her eyes filled with tears
She knows what she has to fear

She had no clue
What to do

Her heart sank
As he drank

Her eyes stung
As his fist swung

She felt like she drowned
As her head hit the ground

She knew this was it
She took another hit

She never fought back
Everything went black

Shhe wanted to get away
And he was in dismay

She ran as fast as she could
But she knew she never would

She knew it was extreme
But this was just a dream
