Raise a Toast !

No I do not recommend drinking just thought of poking fun at those who head straight for the alcohol bottle after a heart break . No offense intended .

When you suffer a heart break

And  sleep fails

Hands head straight  for a Cocktail

I agree with this as I have seen many who got drowned in alcohol not knowing what to do in life. Depression then comes and they all fall into their own world. How sad! Great work!

Maybe mysterious number 13 of the 12 step program.. ;) I get what your saying and I too have caved and tried to drown away sorrows but... sometimes the headache and stomach ache are more painful then the heart ache.. xo ;)

I tried to forget with beer and wine. Didn't work. Just a hangover and the memory still alive and well. Still a cure for many. Hide behind the bottle till wisdom free them or killed by the booze. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hahaha! We were talking about this in Health about how when people break up they tend to drink and drink and drink. They think that it solves their problem, but when they sober up they're still stuck with the truth that the person that was once theirs is now gone. Drinking doesn't solves problem, it only takes you away from reality for a little bit and then sets you right back in it too.I wouldn't recommend drinking either. I find it funny too, just as you do when they drink their little hearts out whenever they're going through heartaches. The pretty picture adds better emphasis on your short, but powerful poem. It doesn't matter how long your poem is because it holds so much truth and power that it truly doesn't matter. I love reading your work and noticing its structures. You should be proud of this piece though, Ambereen. I love how you said in your Author's Note: "No offense intended." That's sweet of you but really you have freedom of speech to say whatever you may like. It's your opinion. I'm sure people have gotten offended by some stuff I have posted but it's my honest opinion. No one ever asks if I'm okay with what they post.

Sidenote: Excellent picture, title, and most definitely best chosen words you have used in your amazing poem.
