The Man in the Bar

A collaboration with Beautifully Tragic

As I sit and wonder

on the day that have passed,

I've notice some air

on one side of the glass.

 

Job has been hard

and the boss unforgiving.

I came here to forget

now I think about leaving.

 

My eyes drift aside,

suddenly - there she is.

Is that a serious look,

or is she trying to tease?

 

As I walk to her table

my hands start to sweat.

What should I say

to this girl I've just met?

 

I'm not that kind of man,

but before I could think

I found myself ordering

two of her drink.

 

As we started to talk

I felt a connection.

I hope that she too

shares my attraction.

 

Just a girl in a bar

Looking pretty and petite

Hating every man I've met

Everyone of them decides to cheat

 

I planned to drink

Til the night is through

Maybe it's the drinks talking

I feel like I'm falling for you

 

Cupid has shot me yet again

Succumbing to his arrow's poison

As I keep staring into those eyes

Almost numb without a reason

 

A guardian angel

Or the devil in disguise

Hopefully not another man

To push my heart's demise

 

After all it has been through

As I'm wishing upon a star

Maybe it's the drinks talking

Falling for the man in the bar

This is a good part! It'll be a bit of a challenge for me, not used to writing love poems, but I'm up for the challenge. I'll let you know when I get through my part.
