Martini Strangers

Your secrets are safe with me I promise to listen with my eyes alone asking no questions…seeking no reasons I too have stared into the early morning mist not always alone…but always lonely Confessions offered in total silence trust given…without condition…trust taken I know that your tears have fallen like rain memories prevail…ties long ago undone midnight passion forsaken for tomorrow’s laundry Sunsets searching for dreams…sunrise searching for more living as a stranger with the one who once knew all of you walls that talk back…a partner who does not memories of promises lost…dreams that will never be watching you needing more than what you have Pristine martini’s in polished glass ice cold and strong…tomorrow’s warmth today each sip a gentle reprieve dreams being shaken...loneliness being stirred the scent of your perfume that will linger forever Last call forcing us to the streets we know going home to someone we do not unsaid words echo from invisible walls lost strangers passing in the night your secrets are safe with me IRISH
