Your birthday is tomorrow
And all I can think is
Can you imbibe in heaven
Has that demon finally
Climbed off of your back
Can you enjoy the freedom
Of not being chained
To unending intoxication
Can you truly feel
Joy again
Laugh out loud
Be at peace
As I continue to miss
The life we once had
I dream for you
A loving embrace
And the happiness
That you lost for years
Will all be within your grasp
