My wife, my kids, my livelihood has vanished into the sea; to never be seen again.
My soul weeps at the sight of the promised renewal of my past love.
My tongue monists at the smell of whisky and vodka.
The smells of forgetting weakens my guard of self- control.
The glass lays in wait for the moment my guard wears thin.
The cigarette helps to blow out the remorse.
The Irish in my soul demands the glass.
My soul can no longer fend off the proposal of forgetting.
My throat is grateful of the needed relief.
The glass slips out of my grasp and onto my sweater...

To the sea,
She said.
To the sunset,
She said.
To forever and always,
She said.

To join my body and soul
Into His,
She said.

Yes ma'am,
Yes ma'am,
I am the one.

It will be me,
The one to take her heart
 In a whole new outlook.

To carry her soul
Into the next life... after many years
Of worship.

To give her all,
I said. 

A year has past
Into dreams.

I cannot pass
On a chance
To witness your internal beauty.

Today I reveal
My true passion
For the soul you hold so near and dear.

Tomarrow...
I regret my confession.
