Oblivion

Another pour
another night,

perhaps I should
perhaps I could,

plunge into depths unknown
obscure my vision, drown,

but I will not.
For I am a

miserable

son of a saint

and cannot bring myself
to completely undue

the good she made,
hope buried deep.

Somewhere inside
she shines in me.
