Tales from the Bartender

Forever and a day

The countless seconds we have been apart,
Fill the blank pages of my memory and stain,
The shards of my immortal soul,

With each passing moment,
The rift in my heart grows wider,
And swallows the love I once felt for you,

I had once sworn to love you forever,
Or at least until the stars burned out
And the sky fell to the bottom of the sea,

As it very well seems, as I gaze,
Into the pitch black sky with pieces of it missing,
That the day has finally come for us to part,

I shall love you all the days of my life,
But my heart can no longer keep you in it,
For the weight of you has crippled me,

Summer days are but a faint memory in the wind,
That have joined the fancies of childhood I have buried,
Along with the scars of our union,

I am yours and you are mine for all eternity,
We shall live on in the ripples of history and memory,
That shall neither fade nor die,

But for now my beloved leave me to find,
Myself and another to bestow the love I once gave you,
Leave me and we might just find each other someday,
