Image for the poem cry lonely

cry lonely

 
 
gotta get out tonight
or I’ll pull the trigger
drugs are too slow
I need quicker liquor
 
I go to a bar where  
the glasses are clouded
the music is loud &
the dancefloor is crowded
 
the bartender’s sober &
the waitress is smiling
the barstool is leather &
the women are beguiling
 
a misty-eyed brunette
kinda leans into me
apologizes quickly
but I don’t let her leave
 
my brain is stumbling
for some clever remarks
then I look in her eyes
& something sparks
 
we talk for awhile
without saying much
two lonely people
just needing to touch
 
motel room is cheap but  
the bed sheets are clean
& the price of passion
is paid with a dream
 
 
a farewell kiss &
one last caress
then back to the bowers
of loneliness…
