Trina drank wine like a wino
how in the hell do I know
found all the empty bottles
Boone's Farm and Night Train
twist off caps in the ashtray
found some she half drank
started pouring it down the
drain but Trina saw me we
had a big fight I was sorry
about that night the next
morning was the first time
seeing Trina drinking coffee
tried to stir up a conversation
Trina was going through
withdrawals she wasn't
talking to me I told her
sitting at the table at dinner
I cared for her liver and
didn't want her to ever need
a kidney cause she wasn't
gone get one from me
she looked at me and let
out a laugh she thought
I was only kidding
I myself got the sh!t's and
giggles then we made up
I poured more coffee into
Trina's cup told her to
drink up went to get gas
by the time I pulled into
the station to fill up the tank
Trina got dressed went out
and got drunk that's what I
get for not putting her in
the trunk of the car to keep
her from going to the bar
"is that going too far"
don't ask me why I stayed
with her I guess I was in
love with her and Trina
loved liquor I was the
chief enabler still recall
when we met I invited her
over for some apple cider
but Trina wanted fire water
thinking to myself someone
please come get your
daughter she's out of order
inebriated lethargic slurring
words cussing me out and
using all action verbs the final
analysis the truth about the
complex situation is sadly
Trina did end up on dialyses
and I kept the promises
I made that day she wasn't
gone get a kidney from me
I pee freely without
complications Trina was
a good education I learnt
a damn good lesson
foolishness can be poisonous
I told this consequential tale
with not much seriousness
cause sometime we have to
learn to laugh at oneself like
good medicine it's good for
our health I like sun shine
more than I do falling rain
it hurts a lot but sometime
we got to reach in and pull
out the pain there are some
things I don't want to feel
but the main objective is
to heal using wit will and skill
