Kate is a barmaid

She’s over there
I’m over here
Drinking in wishes
Swimming in beer
She’s
Heard all the stories
Made all the moves
Smokes in banality
Nothing improves

She’s over there
I’m over here
Topping up dreams
Still drinking beer
She’s
Heard all the sad songs
With only one tune
Foul four lettered clockwork
Be over soon

She's over there
I’m over here
Bottling frustration
Drowning in beer
She’s
Heard the drink talking
Articulates each slur
Same again tomorrow
Life’s just a blur
