Penitence

I’ll just sit here and write stupid lines
Waiting for the pain to be taken by time
To forget the times we smiled and dined
When we laughed the night’s cold into day’s fine
I’ll just write these lines with mind soaked in wine

Long ago it seems, when you were my lass,
And I thought this is a treasure to last
Someone talked of us here, I’d say it’s a farce
What can I do when I remember how you dance
But listen to this stupid song with disturbing bass

You came into my world when I wanted to flip
Just when they all thought I’ll never find the chip
Still, through my hand I let you slip
So when I reminisce and my heart skips
I’ll do nothing but sit remorseful and cheap

Never knew your pretty smile was all I needed
From a beautiful mind, you sowed love’s seed
Gave all your time and passion for it to feed
I chose wrong and greed to be my creed
I imagine how silly they’ll be- that I breed

Let me smile and cry as I remember
Memories of our times in sweet October
I’ll smile drunk, for I’ll only cry sober
Times I rremember how I showed my deserved calibre
I’ll drink myself till I’ve done every drop in the bar
