regret of a drunken heart

regret of a drunken heart

seating in a pub, convinced in his head

that this fine bottle of whiskey will take away his hurt

intoxicating his brain cells with this poison

killing them to bury that unbearable thought of her

 

at one time he had a chance to escape this hell

but somehow decided to stick around and ignore the flames

walked straight into the incinerating chamber

and still convinced himself that its heat was a beautiful bliss

 

tied himself onto her with leather belts

shackled so tight seemingly with intentions of permanence

intoxicated his heart with love

and created a beautiful place in it for an “unwilling guest”

and still hoped that one day he would woo her and get to share it with her

 

this regret - the causatum of his stubbornness

now he drowns himself in alcohol looking for sympathy

 tonight he might forget the hurt in his heart

but as he wakes up tomorrow, reality will check in again

and continue dismantling his drunken heart
