Listen to poem:
I saw your elegance as soon as I walked in,
The golden brass, the sticky bar mats.
I found my seat,
I want to pause time,
The moment you brought the glass up to your mouth
And looked over,
Your eyes, those are the moments in life.
I want you to see my skies,
I can't lay it out, "this is what I got."
What do you have?
You have the face that one would sculpture.
Give me a sign,
I am feeling unworthy.
I'll continue to hide behind my glass,
Let time take its course,
Though my table is the loudest,
I'm feeling drowned out,
Feeling like a pilgrim amongst it all.
I gave up winning or losing long ago,
I just let things flow,
No doubt I'll go home alone,
But that was always the port of call,
Too old-fashioned for my own good,
Always been adamant it shall remain.
I'll let things pass happily,
I'll keep my dignity,
I'm the best to make no sound if I choose to,
No one has made their move,
Have I lost out?
Was there even a chance?
I guess we will never know.
