Sharing Some Drinks Poem by Billy Loving

A gorgeous lass, I met
Haunting my mind, unable to forget
Such sweet glowing eyes
As inside, she slowly dies
Two lonely souls passing the time by
We shared some drinks, she and I
Telling me a tale of someone long since left
Leaving her longing, so bereft
He left suddenly one day
To journey on, about his way
Never to return
His fate she couldn't learn
She loved him so
How much, he'll never know
You could hear it in her voice, see it in her face
Wishing I could take his place
Too soon, having to depart
Saying our goodbyes, not knowing where to start
Feeling so confused within
Agreeing to chat again
So many times I've returned to this place
Never again to see her face
My beauty, never to find
How could life be so unkind?
As at the bar I sit
Lost in thought, unable to forget
