She didn't want him anymore.
He sank into depression for,
All those memories that burn and stang.
He tried to drink his pains away.
With each memory the pain was dulled.
Still in existance but starting to numb.
He wished it would all just stop.
To do this he would have to drink till he dropped.
One day he drank to his grave.
He left a note saying " I love you forever,for always."
Now she shares his unbearable pain.
The next victim. She will not stay sane.
She will be the next to try and drink her life away.
Blood stains these glasses of wine no longer full.
For depression they lost it all to death, to pain, to alcohol.

Wow this just represents everything wrong with drinking too much and all the needless side effects and yet it's in a lovely, memorable poetic sense, good luck in the contest.
