VODKA HER DRINK OF CHOICE (Tyella)

04-23-08

Trying to drown away the thoughts

Memories of how

With her husband she fought.

He had wrapped his fist around her throat

"You've changed", In a letter

The next day she wrote.

No longer able to cry

Trying to find a way

To kiss her sorrows goodbye.

A bottle of vodka sits beside her hotel bed

Wishing away the thoughts

The nightmares she can't get out of her head.

Another shot straight from the glass

Down it goes

Only knowing the feeling wont last.

Not long after she drinks

Straight from the bottle

Wanting to forget the things she thinks.

By the night's end

Vodka's gone

Yet she can't pretend.

Pain still ever present in her heart

Thriving to block it away

Now another bottle of vodka she will start.
