Where others were,
I was not present.
While others spake,
I was silent.
As others were,
I was not.
And what others saw,
I could not bring myself to see.
At what age others were,
I remained a child.
And the things they so heard,
I had covered my ears.
While others loved,
And had shared love
With one another,
I loved alone.

And the things they so heard,
