drink

Within the sorrows of a fettered mind

I slowly drown in pools of stagnant brew

Upon the mirror of reflecting kind

I stare and I ignore what once I knew.

No single thought retains thus now in me

My ignorance has never been my bliss

I try to open eyes that I might see

But drunken ache restrains my heart’s last wish.

I want to breathe the air above again

Or see the happiness that once we had

I try to stand in hopes that I might mend

Yet knees they buckle like an unborn lad.

Tomorrow I will pour this down the sink

For now I think I’ll have another drink.
