Those Emerald Eyes

Dreaming again, daydreaming of you

Conjuring up fantasies as I drift off to sleep

Of those emerald eyes...

He was just a dj as I walked away

But those eyes, those emerald eyes

Following me

From the moment I walked into the cafe

I can't look away, I am hypnotized

Shivvers run up and down my spine

He looks so devine

The attraction is stranger than fiction

He could become my addiction

I just walk away...

Funny, what neon lights can do

He was just a dj, as I walked away

Sat at a corner table all to myself

Placing broken dreams upon a shelf

I order a Miller Light

I am out on the town tonight

It's been quite a while, years...

Shed too many tears

Now I shall cry in my beer

Maybe, I'll order a plate of karaoke

The cafe doesn't seem to carry shish ka bob

Burning flames of desire

Caught in the mire

Did I hear someone singing?

Comfortably numb?

I order another Miller Light, another and another...

Feels like I just woke up, did I drink myself sober?

Did I have too much to drink?

"Would you like me to buy you another drink?"

he asks...

I look around, the table is full of empty beer cans

"I think I've had enough"

I say...

"Maybe, one too many..."

He smiles...

"Would you like to come home with me? To sleep, just sleep?"

He asks

"Perhaps look at photographs, family photographs?"

Out of my stupor, I realize...

It's those damn emerald eyes!

Last call for alcohol, it's two in the morning

Last song and dance of the evening is playing

"Help me make it through the night"

by Sammie Smith

"But, I've had too much to drink tonight"  I say...

"Oh hell, why not?"

Gotta love those emerald eyes...

[Last Lying Look]

This is such a lovely write!
I love how smooth it is.
I'd have to say that this was the perfect ending;
""But, I've had too much to drink tonight" I say...
"Oh hell, why not?"
Gotta love those emerald eyes..."
I smirked when I read that part.
Great write!
