Only for a little while

dear glass of wine

thank you 

for being 

a friend of mine

your taste is sweet 

but a little tart, 

your magic heals 

my broken heart

but only,

for a little while.

thank you for 

helping me

erase the pain, 

forget my past

and dream again. 

you make me happy

you help me smile

but only 

for a little while

you go down smooth

you tickle my tongue

my head to spins 

my heart pounds

your poison 

lays me down

quietly, 

I fall off to sleep

I’m happy again,

but only 

for a little while.
