There's A Woman In The Picture Somewhere

^{April Poetry Month Poem 21}

There's a stranger in a bar room

looking lonesome

No one knows from where he came

or why he's there

But 5 will get you 10

There is heartache where he's been

There's A Woman In The Picture Somewhere

*

There's a table with a set-up for a party

They are laughing at a funny little clown

His act would win a prize

but there's sadness in his eyes

There's A Woman In The Picture Somewhere

*

The mirror at the bar tells the story

I have lived each performance I see

It takes a lonely man to know another

Each man a reflection of me

*

Empty bottles, empty glasses all around me

And the juke box softly playing Born To Lose

Empty eyes so hard and cold

Is the mirror of my soul

There's A Woman In The Picture Somewhere
