This Bar

Has me laughing like I’ve never laughed before

You can hear the roar from miles away

Its neon colors light up this small town

Where rumors spread like wildfire

But I’m accompanied with my friends

The bartenders pouring them strong

She smiles politely when I ask for one

And watches me as I walk away

She always knows what to do and say

I’m drawn to her

My eyes get lost in trances often

My friends are always asking, who’s that?

I’ll say “I’ve never meet her”

And we’ll move along

But my body being drawn to her tells otherwise

The lies keep on going every saturday night,

But when I get home I always arrive to a figure

And this figure is lovely, yet distant.

A silent reminder of love I’ve forsaken,

Haunting my nights with what could have been..
