The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

My Heart, My Head

Here I stand again
Battered and wounded
Tempted to walk again
To walk the risky road

Like the constant journey
Of the cooking pot
To the cooking fire
I am set to burn again

I am set to face the torture
I am set to face regrets
I am set to fall in love
In love with loving you

Maybe I am a coward
Maybe I am a fool
Maybe I a loser
But I fear to take a step

A step to loving you
A step to joy or pain

I have seen the signals
I have seen the signs
I have heard the warnings
Before the dreaded crash

Should I or should I?
My heart or my head?

How can I decide with you in my 
mind?
