| 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
|
