A Bitter Woman
The place was nearly empty
the bartender,you and me.
Our eyes had met a dozen times
but you did'nt seem to see.............
You were pulling the label off a long neck
your mind a thousand miles away.
I sat down on the stool beside you
but I could'nt think of a thing to say..............
I watched you in the mirror
the big one behind the bar.
And wondered where your mind was
and what made you drift so far............
You finally turned to look at me
you had no smile on your face
You said"I have seen you before,
in just about every place".............
"Now let me think"you said
and rested your chin in your hand
"You look just like a man I knew,
but he hid his wedding band..............
"He told me he was'nt married
and would love me all my life"
"But every night when he left me
he went home to his kids and wife".........
"This went on for almost a year
a year lost in my life"
"Then he told me he had never loved me
and had always loved his wife".........
"So when I said I had seen you
this is what I mean"
"I look at you and I see him
and no difference in between"............
"They say when you fall off
you get back on the bike"
"But after him,I'm putting mine away
because all men are just alike...........
