Local Bar’s Lonely Girls

Sitting at my Local Bar 
Not quite drunk off my ass
But still feeling the wobble
& this girl comes and asks me
"is this seat taken" then again
"is this seat taken" because
I'm lost N my head & didn't hear
I say "No" and she sits down
Ordering the same lonely drinks
As me who had fled here 2 B free
I'm scared - does she want me
To talk to her? Or am I just
Lonely - she seems lonely too
But I'm too much of a coward
To ask - because even though
She looks like me - I'm afraid
2 B another burden on her plate
Or maybe I'm afraid to admit
That I'm actually all alone when
I meet someone as lonely as me
