What if the choice

Is from here to oblivion

What're you gonna choose

If not for booze

My beloved Vivian.

Do you prefer eternity

Huddled here with me

To oblivion, Vivian?

How about eternal oblivion

Longer, duller

than the hyphens

We're  livin' withiin.

Searching for order

Between the borders

Making wait time shorter.

Go ahead and wink

Through another day

Feel free to drink

sometimes the only way

To cease to think

And decide to stay.

it's really lovely to see the week's Inspiration Point is proving so popular with you Ice. I hope it continues for the next three days!

Could you possibly just leave a link to your piece on the writing that inspired you next time instead of posting the entire work? And perhaps a link to the inspiration on the piece you write

Take another look at He Did It Himself.....that was a truly organic response. Thanks

Poor Vivian. I like the how each line is an option or some sort of oblivion. The end of sad, interesting that you've conveyed how the drinking is the lesser of two evils.
