I’m not the person that I was
Before
Before my entire world came crashing down around me
I try not to linger
in sadness and self-pity
but sometimes, you’ve just got to
drink the wine
And I take a big deep sip
That rolls on my tongue and down the back of my throat
It hits the spot
like a morphine drip
The pain is washed away
temporarily providing me relief
A chance to sleep
A moment to forget
So I exhale and lift the cup again
Touch the cold glass to my lips
and take another deep
long
satisfying
sip
Poor me.
Poor old non deserving me.
A torment topped with
grief and agony and
a broken womb
I have nothing
left
to give
So I take another sip…
Oh Jonelle, this is beautiful! I’m so sorry you feel this way, but you’re so gifted with your words. Sending you lots of love!
Thank you Monica! I really appreciate that. I’m okay most of the time, just every now and then I feel so sorry for myself but then I pull myself together and give my son a huge cuddle. <3 Lots of love! xoxo
Love this! i just want to give you a hug! And have a glass of wine with you! 🙂
Thanks Karen! I’d love that glass of wine with you! Virtual hugs!! xoxo
Oh, I’ve sipped those glasses of whine too. What a lovely piece, and much of it resonated with me.
Thank you so much Celeste! I think sometimes, you just need that drink and then you’re good to go!! x
