Love Poem: Drowning In a Bottle

Drowning In a Bottle

He lived his life in a constant full throttle. 
Viewing everything through the bottom of a bottle. 

Living in a world, that only appeared black and white. 
In a world, he didn’t know wrong from right.
Looking through the bottom of a bottle, there is no light.

He would purposely stay in a perpetual haze.
He could not find his way through this chaotic maze.

He avoided sun and lived in the dark.
Ignorance is bliss without a spark,
to light the way to the arc.

Drowning himself day by day.
He felt there was no reason to stay. 

One cold night he took his life.
Leaving  behind a child and wife.

He left this world in the blink of an eye.
Living life through the bottom of a bottle caused him to die.

His memory lives on while we dream.
His soul is present like a never ending scream.  

He is now at peace on his arc, safe from drowning and safe from the dark.
