Cocktail Napkins

Sitting alone at the bar Writing down my dreams On cocktail napkins with beer stains As the smoke slowly circles the ceiling fans I felt helpless and weak Wishing you’d steal a kiss And fall asleep wrapped in my arms Caressing your lips softly with my fingertips Leaving at her beckoning Tempted by a sultry dance In a serpent’s grasp ensnared By a gorgon’s gaze, a siren’s song entranced How can I compete? But how can I lose you It may well kill me to watch you spiral But here I am, slowly dying for you Sitting daydreaming in a bar Jotting down some insecurities About an endless lonely existence No resisting, no escape, no remedies
