Ticking time bomb
Slow reminder
Of an internal destruction
Your liver cries out
But the beer has already
Gone down, not one
Not two, but four this time
The bomb keeps ticking
Louder to us all
But you have drowned it out
Happy hour lasts days
Why can't you see
The pain etched in our hearts
As we listen to the ticking
Of your life's time bomb
