A Couple Of Glasses Of Wine

 

She said it was only

A couple of glasses of wine

With her lady friends

At a girlie product party,

Got home fine and all

Hell broke loose,

Hollering, pushing,

Shoving, texting for

Help from behind a flimsy

Locked bathroom door,

Her computer broken,

Her business on hold,

The kind of conversation

That ties your stomach

In knots and leaves you

Cold, helpless and empty,

The old questions burning,

Racing around your mind,

Does love mean owning?

Does love mean possessing?

Does love mean controlling?

Does love mean manipulating?

Or does love mean

Total freedom,

Total trust,

Total truth?
