Mel #1

​Joe turns out the lights
Over the bar
As she switches off the lights
Out front
He locks the door
She is exhausted
She gathers her things
He waits for her
Good night Joe
She says to him
As she disappears
Into the night mist
Good night Mel
She hears from
The blackness behind
Her apartment’s waiting
Just down the street
Her peekapoo’s waiting
Staring at the door
It’s starting to sprinkle
She walks
Quietly she talks
Thinks of the evening
Counts the tips in her mind
Reviews pickup lines
If they said this
I’d say that
But if they’d said that
I’d ‘v said this
Her feet hurt
She stumbles slightly
Rain’s in her eyes
Just enough to be annoying
She thinks of love
How she would love
To come home to
Some one she loves
Then she opens the door
And she knows
​Tonight...
The peekapoo will have to do
