You

I watch from afar
as I always do
invisible host, obliviously
hand in hand they weave
around rocks that know where to lose
those
lies behind some crooked eye
stories unfold another day

promises remembered
paths not taken
darker times hold the key
wistful sighs from ancient tries

we were much younger then

how did we end up here?
with these broken dreams that cry and plead
while scattered goals fade 
in the sunset
of our lonely years
misty tears 

as he wonders where the laughter went
she has no clue,
it was always you...
