Whiskey Nights

I shoot the whiskey back

to dull the pains I get,

one shot to remember

another to forget.

Another bottle empty

another tear hits ground,

when I think I see you here

it only lets me down.

Memories are all I have

from all those months ago,

my feelings are my own

ones I'm not afraid to show.

I call your name each night

though I know you can't hear me,

still I sing the songs I wrote

and let myself cry free.

I shoot the whiskey back

to dull the pains I get,

One shot to remember

another to forget.

I love the very strong message in this poem. I love that I can just feel the strong and complex emotions in this as well. Very well done.

[LisetteCanWrite!]

I agree with Bette.. your ending really grabbed attention with the rhythm and rhyme.. very lyrical and catchy. Kind of reminded me of "there's a tear in my beer cause I'm crying for ya dear".. having high melancholy. There's alot of sadness in these lines.. very well-written for the emotional content. Great creative work!
