Reflection Pool

Looking back ,

I wish that I had known ...

How sad  that you looked

And how very all alone.

With your head hanging down

Your eyes never met with  mine ...

How come I did not know

It was because your heart was crying.

Reminiscing  on,

How I pictured you ...

Helplessly, there was nothing

That I could do.

How come you never let me see

The loneliness that was your friend ...

Maybe if I tried just a little harder

You would have let me in.

But there was no room for me

In an Old and tattered heart ...

It' s how you wanted it to be

Right from the start.

So, with your head hanging down

Your eyes will never meet with  mine ...

And now I finally know

It's because your heart is crying.

It's now I finally see

The loneliness that is your friend ...

And no matter what I do

You will never  let me in.

There is no room for me

In an Old and tattered heart ...

It's how you want it to be

Right from the  very start.
