Woe Begotten

If you can figure out why I titled this Woe Begotten then you read it carefully...

Woe Begotten

Wreckage in this midnight midst,
One young soul has been dismissed,
Entangled within a web he spun,

Beaten, battered and undone,
Eroding life with his one path,
Gone tonight in whiskey's wrath,
Ordered by his toxic mind,
To drink, drive and be so blind,
To take away this life of mine,
Ending me with one mistake,
Now I'm dead and cannot wake.

    "one young soul has been dismissed." i liked that line. and the two following it, actually. i realize that this is an acrostic, but it's kind of jarring to have the couplet jump over the gap between words like that. on the other hand, it is more likely to make people notice that you're spelling something out. it's totally up to you, though. good poem!
