Whiskey and Cigar
I spent the day working on it
Sitting in my local bar
I planned it out precisely
I’d drop by her place by eight
I kept building up my courage
I made sure I wasn’t late
She let me in and kissed me
I lit a smoke and grabbed a drink
She went into the bedroom
I had five minutes more to think
I poured myself another
Put the smoke upon the glass
I went into the bedroom
And then it came to pass
It started with three little words
She started as my friend
And now again, three little words
Put this friendship at an end
The three words were I love you
And those words made her cry
The three words now were different
Sorry, and goodbye
I left the glass upon the table
The cigar, I left that too
I left and she was crying
It was what I had to do
The courage that I needed
Had expired as I spoke
It was resting on her table
A glass of whiskey and a smoke
muddled musings of a mangled mind
