About This Poem

It's Always Like This

Empty stool
in that 
sleazy bar 
I go to 
too often. 
I leave  
smelling like
stale beer
dead cigarettes
a whiff of vomit
with anyone
I don’t know
from 
anywhere
or his name. 
You were 
I am
no different.
Why even
imagine what 
might be possible?
Four floors 
eight flights
top of the 
stairs
dirty green walls
two-burner 
in the closet
mattress on the 
floor 
window over the bed.
There’s stars 
but that’s 
too romantic for
crazy drunk sex.
You’re gone
when we’re done.
Same old ending.

    Very powerful imagery, sad topic. Your words moved me.
