Some nights you are so distant
You make conversations
Cocooned in your solitude
Oblivious to gratitude
Of a chance at exploring
More than one can get
In a single lifetime.
Alas when you return
I am too far gone,
Too hopeless, too lost

Hoping this once, you
Will look into my eyes
And realize, I too
Was tired and bored of life
But had found a reason.
Only if it was merely
Something to enjoy
And not to live by.
