I was so hurt, so angry
When you broke up with me
I didn’t mean to
Hit you so hard
But I did
I left in a hurry
Got in my car
Drove to the bar
To drown my sorrows
In alcohol
I had a lot to drink
The bartender offered
To call me a cab
But I refused
Said I was fine to drive
I wasn’t
I was so tired
So drunk
I lost control
Hit a tree
Mangled metal
Broken glass
I should be dead
I’m just badly broken
Physically
Emotionally
From the wreckage
That is my life
I pick up a shard of glass
Hold it up
See my reflection
I don’t like
What I see

Not sure if you will want this feedback but last stanza, glass instead of class. I know I hate my own errors.

I felt funny saying anything but my friend Dona used to say if she had something in her nose a friend better tell her rather than a stranger! Lol. 😂

I do appreciate it when people constructively point out my mistakes so that I can correct them.

I am happy that you survived, but I think you should stick with the gummies and stay off the booze.

Well written Fandango! (Is it a good thing that my phone suggests a name as unique as Fandango after just a few letters? Ha, ha!)
