WHISKEY DROWNS

Almost out of whiskey
She said she wouldn't miss me
Her memory fills my sorrows
Drowning in no more tomorrows
She said she wouldn't miss me
Her memory fills my sorrows
Drowning in no more tomorrows
She said I never listened
As the tears on her face glistened
I shut her out, now I'm freezing
Just can't take her leaving
As the tears on her face glistened
I shut her out, now I'm freezing
Just can't take her leaving
Almost out of whiskey
Tomorrow it's gonna hit me
The alcohol numbs the pain
As I hang my head in shame
Tomorrow it's gonna hit me
The alcohol numbs the pain
As I hang my head in shame
She said I didn't really love her
From the truth, she was further
Just didn't know how to show it
And i didn't mean to blow it
From the truth, she was further
Just didn't know how to show it
And i didn't mean to blow it
Almost out of whiskey
She was the only one to get me
In misery with my bottle I will sit
Til I'm able to drown it
She was the only one to get me
In misery with my bottle I will sit
Til I'm able to drown it

Hello, my name is M Lynn and I have been and avid reader and writer of poetry since the age 14. Influenced early by totally opposite poets, Edgar Allen Poe & Dr. Seuss. Poetry has been my outlet to express my innermost thoughts, life events, cope with personal traumas and tragedies, and flash fiction.
"She said she wouldn't miss me." A stab to the heart! It makes me feel glad my wife has stuck by me. Perfect blend of story and poetry in my opinion. It has a real nice cadence and an urgent and moody quality that made me read it several times. Nice work.
