Drinking Wine Can Be a Tragedy...

The road was like a flood

Just like what was in her head

I thought as I stared at the blood

And my friend was close to dead

That tragic and fateful night

When her car was in a wreck

And I had a long fight

From that shrapnel in my neck

She was the killer of her own life

This beautiful and brilliant woman

A scholar, sister, friend, mom,and wife

Taken away from her life's plan

What drove her to be no more?

It was the lovely red wine

That just an hour before

Tasty salty and divine

As we danced at the party

And laughed the night away

The drink made me not see

That she was starting to sway

So when asked if I needed a ride

I gladly accepted her offer

And as we started to slip and slide

In the winter snow that became a blur

I still didn't think that I was in danger

Luckily I wore my seat belt in her car

But I didn't realize that for her

Common sense was just too far

So as we impacted on the snowbank

I heard her and myself scream

And when I awoke my heart sank

For I was hoping it was all just a dream

What I saw before me I can never forget

As I watched my friend in the red snow

And knew forever I would regret

Being too drunk to know
