The Ballad of the Four Roses: Lost Dance of a Romance

There was a story shared with me from a person I’ve never gotten to know,

I met her on the corner of the bar in the town I used to go

It began with the raising of a glass, a toast then a shot of a smile,

A brush of the lips then an irresistible offer to kindly stay a while,

 

At every given moment, I prayed and wished that she was you,

And as she stole another kiss, my intentions followed too,

Not once, not twice, but three times we confessed,

That loneliness was a drink we shared when we only hoped for the best,

 

For a moment it was more than enough to stop the world on its tracks,

We raised another, took a shot, and left using the back,

We drowned ourselves with the liquor and the toxic ran in our veins,

Desire was the b*****d drink served cold that helped me forget your name,

 

We lay at the hood of a car, unmoved by the silence of the night,

Temptation burned through her clothes like a fever ripping through my mind,

Then She told me that she loved Him and that she fucked all her pain away,

For a moment it worked in her favor until Hope abandoned her Faith,

 

She painted a perfect picture, so vivid that I envisioned,

That I too had the same dreams and tried my hardest to live them,

Weakened by her choices, I helped her get back to the world she imagined

I turned and saw the loveliest eyes of the loneliest girl on the planet

A very lovely ballad that gives satisfaction and good traction. Keep it up, sir...:)........................
