I walk by the couple on the bench... staring into each others eyes - they do, afraid I might step upon a twig and break their grip... still not one, and yet, not even two. tally off I go, if I dare - somewhere else to loom and not stare... Where have they all gone...all of them now? The ones I called friend, all...and each one so rare.... Can fate be this cruel...leaving me here alone, to b*tch, moan and scowl? I have days ahead, to read the stars, and slice the bread. But not alone say I... no...today, tomorrow? Rather, I think me dead... or alone instead.
