OH, LAS VEGAS

at night you leave me wandering aimless 

stumbling, standing, falling on down the road

with my guitar in hand in search for fools gold.

oh, beautiful city of Las Vegas

by sunrise you leave me searching, so lost

the carpet moving under my feet as i light a smoke

my eyes wide at her painful words she left on a note.

oh, bright city of Las Vegas

the moon was never so beautiful in the past

shaking, crying, begging through her eyes that said goodbye

i could swear i dont love her anymore 

but that would be a lie.

oh, lonesome city of Las Vegas

This has such beautiful flow. Your imagery evokes the other, darker side of Las Vegas, where everything is lost including love. I keep re-reading and marveling at the words, so simply put yet so strong. Well done!

I really like this poem. I haven't talked to you in months, and here I am, learning about your new life in Las Vegas through poetry. I'm sorry to learn of what I presume is a breakup. I know you see the beauty in everything, though, and I hope you're making the best of your time there. - Adam L

Oh, yes, I have fallen in love with this city very much and this poem has much to do with my experiences I've been through while here. Partially in many perspectives this poem does involve my feelings towards a relationship with a woman, but in the same token as the relationship I have begun to build with the city of Las Vegas. Both of which i would rather not let go. However, in time I will have to eventually let go of both. Such is a matter of life, the truth that nothing lasts forever. In any case, how have you been?

I've been quite well. How's everything going?
