Sitting on a bar stool, sipping his drink He closes his eyes and starts to think Of the woman he loved so long ago Where is she now, he wants to know For twenty years he's sat in that bar Wondering how he made it this far Drinking each night to numb the pain Hoping she'd walk through that door again She said she'd do better without him around A better man, she thought she had found The bartender's known him for all these years Helping him battle the pain and the fears And he knows how he loved her and what it has done It's killed him inside, made him good for no one The bar is busy, they don't notice her She sits at a table, wrapped up in fur She calls out his name and he starts to weep He turns around wiping tears from his cheek And walks to the table to sit down beside The woman, who, for twenty years, he has cried And she asks his forgiveness and clutches his hand She sees that he still wears his wedding band Through tear filled eyes and with a broken voice He tells her that he really has no choice He’s longed for this moment from the day she left He tells her how many tears he has wept And he knows his life has come full circle His heart is alive, his soul now youthful The bartender knows, as they walk out the door He won’t be back in this place anymore He’s gone to make up for the years they lost Now that their paths have once again crossed. |

I really enjoyed your poem/story....it gave me chills..because of the title...and then the people inside of the poem reminds me of someone I know....hmmmm? It is one of those sci-fi spooky, uncanny moments... as if I know you... Great poem! "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away." |
