Writing To Forget
The beautiful woman
sat at the empty bar
lost in deep thought.
Why was she there
trying to remember
or drinking to forget
I recognize her sadness
It plagues my dark eyes
causing deepest thoughts
as I quietly pen my words.
Am I trying to remember
or am I writing to forget

Nice, the duality of this is what I liked.
And it evoked the feeling of noticing someone in a public space, and trying decipher them.
