If was after dark found in the park Left on the bench was her coat Looking didn’t find a single word or rhyme She left the world not a note On the retaining wall one shoe did fall From where it was she did place But the other stayed from water The fallen floated off without a trace. The chill of the wind drove me away and in On a night like this I could not go far Snow chilled my feet and I searched for heat Finding it soon in a warm local bar Week eyes adjust slow where much smoke does blow And each patron was filling an ash tray This bar was not for thinking but for heavy drinking And passing sad and lonely time away I found some mist in a place like this It had a wide variety of hard liqueur And with drink in hand I defiantly would slam Two then three then I saw her. At the table by the phone she sat all alone In a new coat, shoes and looking pretty So fourth drink in hand I did carefully stand To slowly walk over to this fantasy. I stood there a while till at last she did smile And softly asked me if I’d like to have a chair So I drained my glass and sat down too fast And asked her how she happened to be there “My sadness has gone so I’m now moving on I left behind gifts to those once like me The coat and shoes that others cold might use Now that I’ve moved back into society.” We then left together into the wintry weather And she hailed a passing yellow taxi Dropping me home then went on alone Gone now following her new destiny Gloom |

I guess nothing Gloom. Maybe love doesn't have anything to do with anything. Just something on the side...a story to tell to anyone who will listen when age sets in. |
