Sweet Oblivion

I know I shouldn't have,
But I just couldn't help myself.
I know I should have resisted more,
But the offer was just way too tempting.
Once the liquid filled my glass,
That was it...that was my fate.
The rich aroma filling my nostrils,
The taste, tantalizing my taste buds.
Re-awakening a hunger long forgotten
Oh so irresistable, I have to have more!
Why couldn't I have stopped at just one glass?
At first everything is good, it's great!
I'm happy enjoying the moment.
How quickly that all changes,
When memories come flooding back,
But I don't want to think, I don't want to feel,
So I just drink, one after the other.
Slowly I succumb to darkness,
For she is my only friend...Sweet Oblivion!
