In the night...

Stranger
Pictures.
Dreams.
I can't tell you that isn't
the only thing that surrounds
my unhappy life..
So my question is, When you
wake each morning realizing
the only thing that you have
been holding lately is your
pillow, do you feel meaningless
inside?
Well, I sigh at least my arms
were around something last nite.
Those people out there...the ones
you saw at the bar last nite. I
don't really think they give a damn
Hell, I don't even think that they
knew my name; they were only happy
to add other smile and nod to their
collection. One more person to say
hi and bye to.
Is there shame to walking out this
door? Hell no, I was only as empty
as before.
You know sometimes we bring home
strangers...who lay in your bed at
nite...and then those other strangers
can call you names because they weren't
so lucky to join in on this game...
But hey weren't you the one to be so
proud to pretend to know my name?
He looked at me, I looked at him...
Hey he knew my friend..
I walked over to my friend who had
a friend, and it went like this...
But the words weren't so exact...
"hey I'm looking for Mister right?!"
Our hands extended out so slowly...
"hey I'm looking for misses right?!"
We smile at the acknowledgement of
knowing each other and we shake hands
We don't know about tomorrow, or how
we will feel, but let's not waste
tonite....show me something that
I can feel real....we know about
all these feelings...we know about
pain....so lets make each other sane..
you can kiss and hold me, do everything
right....and I, well, I could just forget
about this nite.....

sometimes we need to have those kind of nights, and those kind of people, dont we? the kind where there are no memories attached -- nothing to cry over in years to come. no worries about who's going to get hurt. just 2 people... no names, no expected words, no ties, no limits. what's wrong with that sometimes? and you know what... it's always about "a friend of a friend"... so often in this world we are not who we are, we are just a reference... "aren't you justin's fiance?" "aren't you jennielee's roommate?" "aren't you that girl in my speech comm class?" just a friend of a friend. no one important to the other.
some of the best nights i have had have been in the company of strangers... i know you've had those too... its about the Abercrombie boy at the club that you'll never see again, or the guy at the bar you buys you a Snakebite, or the customer you wait on who leaves you his phone number neatly on a napkin in the slim hopes you will call him....
but you never know their name. and its just as well...
nights like that, yeah... i've been there.
