So I drank wine


I was 18
Unfettered 
Fresh faced, eager
World was mine 
Life of party
Soul of clubbing
And so I drank wine

25
Treated badly
Blackened marriage 
Drew the line
Parents shocked
And disappointed
And so I drank wine 

32
Lost a baby
Twisted heart strings
No more chime
Shadows fell
Another heartbreak
And so I drank wine

39
Working hard
Breaking boundaries
Nows my time
To then discover
I'm just a number
And so I drank wine

42
Love of life came
New beginnings
Feeling fine
But the habits
Setting in now
And so I drank wine

51
What can change
Drinking daily
Not a crime
Till my doctor
At a checkup 
Tells me straight
Down the line
One more drop
You'll be gone
Your glass empty 
Before your time
And I wonder 
Do I care? 
And so I drank wine
