heavy is the heart
when separation courts
holding hands with loss
waltzing with sadness
I know this is true
this torment is mine
though not yet gone
already bearing a burden
anticipating emptiness
where now you reside
unable to recall in detail
what filled before you
alas comes the moment
with that last lingering taste
your essence has departed
I swim lost in my confusion
then a voice reaches out
shining hope into despair
its song irresistible siren's lure
"can I get you another beer?"
happiness fills my world...
I know you want me to believe it's about beer, but until I take my final breath, I will believe it is not. So I sit here, close to tears, smiling at myself, shaking my head before I shake my fist in some direction, "Damn you, it's about beer"!!!
