Red Wine Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Dark against the chandelier’s light
Alone in this big house
The truth is starting to seep through the walls
I forgot they had ears
Detached from everything
All I know is this room here
All alone
All alone
My anger cannot subside
Thinking it’d be alright
What a foolish lie
Throw another obstacle
I’ll catch it and laugh at your pathetic attempts
You see these walls
I’ll take them away
If you really want to play tonight.
Get up and show me a good fight
Until then
I’m drinking
I never loved him the way I thought
I think I need a smoke
Never have these feelings shone themselves
I guess this is what I asked for
Red has always been a fave of mine
So many things you can connect
Like..
Wine
Wine is such an interesting thing
You have a sip and you hate it
So you try to leave it
But the taste lingers on your tongue
So you take another
A bigger one
Soon its spell has been cast
You’re getting picky and you want to laugh
Oh no I’m getting off track…
Again
The night is quiet
What a strange thing
The moon is dying
So amazing
Lift this curse upon my heart
Boy you better not make me start
I still know a few tricks
I’ll put my bottle and my glass away
Then I’ll show you
How to play these games
So he wants to make my mind reel
Oh
He doesn’t know how to make a deal
When I’m through with this pup
I’ll take another sip from my cup
Some say the glass is half empty
Some say it is half full
I really don’t give a damn
I’ve got more of it
In the back room
