Wine Filled With You

February 6, 2024

Written by Maryam Alsammarraie from Russell Sage College — Troy — NY

Dozing off into 

a world,

a world that isn't mine. 

Your world. 


Sunny days with

rainy clouds.


A candle in a

blinded room 

type of world. 


A world filled with

WINE poisoned wine, 

the type of wine we drank together. 


I still drank it,

the wine

knowing that it would

KILL ME. 


Assumed you would

save the little girl 

inside me


But you watched,

I cried,

looking at you 

I dreamed. 


I sobbed,

not because I wanted

I had nowhere else 

to go 

but to you

just you. 


You were ME 

and I was 

YOU.


Still, I close my eyes

with love

as you

watch me 

DISAPPEAR.
