Before I wake again?
Or find myself beheaded, drowning in a bottle of sin?

Would be the death of me.
Waking up without you,
How horrendous that would be.
In the depths of darkness

My conscious mind is wavering,
Well that/'/s quite absurd.
I/'/ve lost the scent of you
On my pillow case,
Each night I lay there,
Thinking "Oh, I/'/ve gone to waste."
As I down the bottle
once again that night,
I/'/ll be thinking of you once more
Oh, what a sight!
Staring into the empty
recesses of life
I wonder what caused

Hope fades as your words deliver a spiral of a corrosive soul lost in the abyss. Haunting lines that take you on a journey not knowing the end. Well done

A lot of wordy power in this. I particularly enjoyed the line
"drowning in a bottle of sin"
Quite thought provoking and emotive
Great write

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
