I once knew a woman

She walked a fine line between love and hate

sitting on that bar stool day after day

whiskey in one hand

a smoke in the other

Night and day I'd watch her waste away

crying in that empty bottle

dancing her misery away

so many men in and out

coming and running

only one left a faded picture

a memory destroyed forever

a pain so deep

lost in the oblivion

she's made her own world

lost in a bitter battle of wills

as i ask her why

she looks at me with a tear in her eye and begins

love is not a line you draw in the sand

than dare the other to step over

it's not a feeling that comes and goes

love is not your choice

its an undying emotion your heart makes and never lets go...         

then it's ripped from your soul

your powerlessness invades

and your life is lost...
