WORDPLAY: G

G
     Gnaw and bicker at my woes,
     My regrets of the morrows biding to be done;
     Invite them as leeches to my dreams
     Let them remind me
     of the many tears yet to come.
     I shall jest with them and their woeful tidings,
     Reminiscing in tomorrow, in accordance and fear
     In toast,
     to a silence that I crave to bear.
