Each Night Oscar. . .

Each night Oscar watches the world from this corner

hopes this would be his last night here

prays it's not too late for another chance to get it right

carries his prized possessions with him - memories

of better times

cries when he thinks of all he's lost

drinks to numb the pain his heart won't forget

realizes he's still alive so there's hope

prepares himself for the day this would all have been a dream
