The Hermit sits in his four-walled prison |
|
He is ever alone but not by choice
|
Abandoned and betrayed, cold and bitter he sits alone |
|
He dreamt he had friends once in a far off land |
But they are too far and perhaps they never existed |
|
Except in a momentary dream of a short vacation |
Everyday is the same, every moment like the last
|
|
No one touches. no one hugs, no lover to kiss
|
He hears people say life is too short
|
|
But for him life is never short enough
|
He lays in bed and dreams of a life that will never be
|
|
A life not filled with alone but full of we
|
