Gather ‘round all
And let us tell the tale
Of an ill-fated night
That was destined to fail

Dressed in traditional garb
A suit and a tie
He left that night
And let out a sigh

Not wanting to go,
But with a promise to fulfill
He would be there
Even if him it would ****

He did it for her
‘Twas his only goal
But secretly he knew
It was also in hopes of feeling whole

And so he entered
With hopeful eyes
But what came next
Was to his surprise

The girl he looked for
She was not there
Instead she was replaced
With something he couldn’t bear

It was her alright,
But intoxicated
The night was for naught
And all hope faded

He goes on now,
Living, but broken-hearted
He loved her once
But it’s long departed
