Sitting alone in the crowd
of a dark and empty bar,
two people see each other
not mattering much to those around.
You and I.
One the spotlighted face on the stage
the other a blank faced chair in the crowd,
endlessly searching for something
both of us wanted.
You and I.
The lights went down and still you shone
The lights came up and to you I was known.
How quick the evening goes
when you’re doing nothing.
You and I.
Later we spoke in endless
rhymes with no words
and the meaning was lost
in the things we were to do.
My intentions innocent,
yours not so.
You and I.
We laughed we played
we danced we lied.
And you were okay
but I was hurt.
