My grip on the bottle was tight

as I twirled it in my hand -

the glass was filled with somewhat red wine

I forgot what it was like to be sober

Like the blood running through my veins

the inspiration finally came

I wrote my best when I was intoxicated

I was interrupted by a knock

in came the protagonist of the story
dressed in all black

"You shouldn't be drinking!"

He yelled and grabbed the bottle in my hand

But little did he know -

I was no fan of alcohol, nor was I drunk

"Is this grape juice?"

He asked, after realising that it was not what it seemed

"Cranberry."

I corrected, how could he be so oblivious?

It was never the cause of my intoxication in the first place.
