A Toast For the Toastless

Here's to the days I never saw, And here's to the days I'll never see. Here's to the men who neglected their women, And here's to the women who never loved me. Here's to this drink and the burn down my throat, And here's to the world that provokes it. Here's to the transgressions that cannot be undone, And here's to the poison I spit. Here's to the Universe of which I am a part, And here's to the doubt of that fact. Here's to the turbulent seas of my mind, and here's to a suicide pact. Here's to the life I once thought I could live, And here's to drowning in sorrow. Here's to the abyss at the end of this page, And here's to no hope for tomorrow.
