She was looking
For a stranger
To open up her heart,
All he had to be was
Big and strong,
And I thought that
I could play that part,
I was drinking whiskey,
She was drinking white wine,
We were both unemployed,
Always out of money
And time.
She was so attractive
And barely five feet tall.
She was drinking steady
And trying to make some sense
Of it all.
She had been a waitress,
A lawyer and a clerk.
I had been working construction
But, now I was out of work.
We were perfect strangers,
Just like everyone else,
Lonely and hurting,
Losing all sense of self.
To us, all that mattered was
Somehow getting to the end of the day,
That is why when we met each other,
We both had nothing to say.
As, we watched our lives fade away.
We fade away.
