We’ve always sipped
On cocoa,
A good way
To muster beer off your breath.

It’s my excuse for sweaty hands,
And reasons not to look at you.

Sometimes still it fails
When you cry…

And I would die
To tell you
It’s okay.

But it’s not.

And I’m sorry
You can never make it right.

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

GG -- you have such a unique way of saying things.  This is so real.  I feel like I was sitting across the table watching, so to speak.

That piece sounded like a song and if you ever turn it into one then send it my way. Cause I really enjoyed that and I think that I would love to add that to my library to read again later.
Thank you so much for the wonderful thoughts and the beautiful read.

Love,

Ladycat,
wow, I'm honored. I had one poem turned into a song before, a hymn really. Wasn't too great though lol... afraid it won't happen much more though, I am musically illiterate! Thank you much for your generous reply

michelle,
my grandfather died from beer, my family was split apart from beer, And just last wednesday my sister's boyfriend was hit by a drunk driver... he'll be in the hospital a few days still. The driver could have killed my sister, just barely missed her... so yea, I'm not much a fan of beer. Thanks for your reply ..

Always, Alyssa

yes... they say time heals all wounds, but it doesn't. And there are some things you can never get back or get rid of... like memories. thanks for your reply.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Alyssa, I send many angel healing hugs your way, sweet friend, all you can do is make this situation right by following your heart and let the tears flow until the dirt comes out! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alyssa, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

James,
Thanks I'm glad you do!

Noah,
what I can do is forgive... but even my forgiveness however faulty it may be, can never change what has happened or the way it will forever affect my life... But, thats life I suppose. Thanks for your reply

Always, Alyssa
