I can see you now. Had no idea that you were all alone, until the flicker and flash of that room come alive cued me in. And there you sit. Stoicly picking at your half finished food with a look in your eyes that touches me to the bone. You don't know me, I'm not sure that you ever did..but I've thought about you a lot. Perhaps it was just someone hauntingly like you..still I've thought about you and cried. See, it's not that hard to to forget you're there 'til the lights come on, then it all comes back. And I wish I was with you, helping you through your meaningless meal with some pleasant conversation and sincere concern..but I'm not. Instead I sit here, watching you eat from a place far away, profoundly moved by the pointlessness of your loneliness. |
