Poems of the lost

red wine

stomach dropped
I know something's coming
a tense ringing
starts to fill the air

then its silence
and everything amounts to nothing

my hearts quaking
to the beat of the drum
in my heart

the sweet metallic taste of blood fills my mouth
it burns my lungs
red wine gone down

my body quivers
an avalanche under my skin
and I don't know what to do
except let it out
red wine and all
drenching my hands
through it all

then I look to you
as your lips finish forming the words
and I don't know what to say except 
"ok"

ok
that's all I say
ok
what on earth could I do?
ok
my mind and heart and soul are now numb
and my red wine
has gone to waste

a/n: this came to me in a song but I don't have the phone storage to record it, so I decided to share it as a poem. Hope you enjoy!
