A Love Song To Beautiful Girls... Poem by Ryan Cole

A Love song to beautiful girls with sad eyes,
sweet smiles, and father issues
who leave broken hearts scattered on barroom floors
amongst the peanut shells and sawdust
moving with aplomb through the throngs of want to bes
and would've beens
with borrowed cigarettes and no shortage of lights
playful grins and drunken laughter
and gentle scent of perfume
You're the light at the end of the world
and why we stay 'til last call
only to stumble home
to hangovers and regretful mornings
with only memories of the sad eyes and sweet smiles
of beautiful girls...
... with father issues
