Winter Whiskey- Poem by Rebecca Wood
Winter Whiskey
Winter Whiskey is a poem about a woman who has lost her love by dark hands. This poem tells of her grieving and the way in which he had been lost is to your conclusion.
She goes outside into the snow
She takes a few shots in a row
Her vision clears and there's the love of her life
Standing there gazing into her watery eyes
In longing emotion, she drops to her knees
Punishing herself, she believes what she sees
A little shiver, she quickly takes another shot
Now he's holding her, telling her he never forgot
He never forgot the love they once had
And didn't mean to make her angry or sad
A tear rolls down her cheek and hits the snow
The melting snow reminds her and lets her know
That he will never be there to catch her falling tears
Nor to make her feel strong when facing her fears
The more she tries to remember him, the less she can see him
As she starts taking swigs from the bottle, her vision grows dim
Her body trembles, not from the cold but from her dependency
Her hot breath fades into the air, brewing her winter whiskey
