Barkeep

Barkeep!!


Pour me a drink to quell the pain of yesterdays hell,
he listens to their words like it's an endless melodie,
played by fates cruel strings,a faint wish to be set free.
They sung their song with their own emotion, tears flowing,
as they drown in their own bittersweet ocean.
The barkeep gently strokes away the tears of the ones unknowing,
every night he hears what dwells in the broken hearts,
he washes away the pain, as he is watching over his bar.

Very nice... Definitely encapsulates the struggle of everyday man, as well as the barkeep's power of just being able to listen. Nicely done.
