veiled eyes

I stare out the window
Don’t know what I’m looking for
Maybe for an answer
Just can’t make it out the door
Thinking about what happened last night
In a room full of strangers
You were staring at the lights
Couldn’t find the words
So we used silence as a tool
What the hell happened
I don’t understand it
I leave it alone
And you leave me stranded
Promised I’d never tell you a lie
So I keep looking through veiled eyes
When I make it outside
Circle your place to check for the lights
It’s as dark as the bar I travel to next
So, I drown my sorrows away
As I try to explain
To the man I sat next to
Fast forward through the playbook
To know what to do
My journal reads the same mistakes
Every page is as dark as the next
I’ll try to write something meaningless
