AMNESIAC

Many days, you'll wonder
why the idea crystallizes
then fades into nothingness,
forgotten by the mind
but the heart will not be converted
Many nights, the liquor
will bring understanding
and with it, pain
(always the faithful sidekick)
and for a few hours
the uncertainty
will certainly haunt you
Until you awaken
with the muted regret
the absence of longing
the acceptance of denial
once again reveling in the comfort
of your self induced amnesia
