On and On, This Is My Life
We met once, in a dimly lit pool hall.
She blinked, her eyes so deep,
her smile lingering on her lips
and seeming a little eager.
She told me her thoughts on life,
music and the road outta town.
I spoke the same, ending sooner,
i didn't even have an original line.
Well, the night went on, without her,
i did my usual stints of wandering
an emptying bar, my mind saying
i'm not even here, ending my night there.
When i came to the morning after,
i woke to a cigerette and a wonder.
Did i enjoy the night before, or was it
just her eyes and laughter?
The days went on, my heart growing heavy,
my eyes not focused, my mouth blundering
and for all i was worth, i did not quander
the grandeur of her wondrus allure.
Now I have no faith, i ignore my fate
i go on about my life, letting go, she was
a momentary lapse, that's all i know,
that's all i'll ever know since her.
