A Girl With No Name, and a Drunken Escapade

A Girl With No Name, and a Drunken Escapade

A Poem by Phantasmagoric Perceptions
"

Inspired by the Airborne Toxic Event

"

She stands in a white dress,
Her hand on her hip as she
Waits for you to pass through the room
And she leans over the counter
To catch your attention in hopes of
Falling in love

 

But she knows
That the chances are slim
There's a girl on your arm and 
Alcohol running through your veins
Still she smiles
And bats her eyelashes in futile
Attempts at realizing a dream

 

She's glowing and she's spinning around
Trying to make you see
That there's no one on the dance floor
That could ever love you like she

Does

 

But you know
That the feelings aren't mutual
So you pass her by with a sheepish
Smile in your eyes
A tear rolls down her cheek as you
Leave her standing on the street
She's crying and she's stamping
Her foot on the ground in distress

 

Alas it all ends with a blurry rush of lights
You're drunk and won't remember this
By the end of the night
You won't recall the name of the girl at the bar
She leaves you lying in a pool
Of your doubts on the floor

Hate it when that happens. This was a good write. The imagery of it is stark and perfect for the tale told. Great work.
