An old man's savior in the oddest of places. |
Back to back for a moment they stood And for a moment in the night Two hearts thrummed as one Consumating a shared emotion. Both lovers turned their heads Looking their better half in the eye Entrhalled by a hidden siren's call Enarmored against the banshees cry. In that moment both stood imortal No harm could come to them In a crowded room they stood alone Sharing unspoken words of love. And then the moment passed For in the end they always do Both spun away laughing Not a care in the world. I watched as i cried over my drink Remembering days and moments past Thinking back to the angel in my life And all the happiness now lost to me. Lost in memory I never noticed her Until she stopped and whispered in my ear "Would she be happy with your right now Drinking yourself to death this way?" She never waited for my reply Not that there could be one. Her words sank into my heart And struck at my very core. I never went back again after that night Though now and then my thoughts return Back to that little bar where a stranger Reached out and healed an old man's heart I still drink now and again Crying tears of happiness in my water Telling stories where everyone can hear Of the second angel to ever speak to me. |
