A new dawn breaksThe bottle beckons me
The sweetness jumps at my lipsIt calls out to me
“Let me give you a hand”But I know it won’t.

A new dawn breaksBut not for meI’ve lost it all
Nothing waits for me.The pool of water
like a portal to tranquility.

Symbol “a new dawn” to make it seem like the start of a new day brings new opportunities, when in reality the main character is faced with a new struggle: that of having to decide whether or not to drink, and, later on, decide how to end life with the final new dawn having “broke”.
Personification to give the tempting bottle the impression of being like a person, as it tried to coax the alcoholic to drink.
