This Glass of Wine

This glass of wine can't erase
The day I've had.  It only
Makes my head a bit fuzzy
And my eyelids heavier.
This glass of wine can't make it
All go away or keep me

Together when I'm falling
To pieces. I sit alone
Feeling like life committed
A hit and run, leaving me
Hurt, bleeding, with nothing but
This half empty glass of wine.

This glass of wine can't erase
The day I've had.
