Happiness, Love,

Alone in a Pub

Alone in a Pub

 

The empty glasses sit before me,

Unfinished tales in each one.

Silent voices echo in the distance,

Their laughter faded and done.

The barkeep wipes down the counters,

A job he's done a thousand times.

I sit and stare out of the window,

Watching the world pass by.

The empty seat next to me,

Was once filled with lively talk.

Now, it stands as a constant reminder,

Of the loneliness to which I am locked.

The door creaks open and a figure enters,

I hope for someone to share my plight.

But they take their seat at the other end,

And I remain lost in my own plight.

The silence is deafening,

In this pub of empty chairs.

I sip my drink and ponder,

If anyone cares.

The clock ticks away the hours,

As I sit and stare at the wall.

No one to share my thoughts with,

No one to hear my call.

I pay my bill and rise to leave,

The world outside awaits.

But the loneliness still lingers,

As I walk out through the gates. 


Sharing is caring
