O' I take Emotion Volume II

Poem 119

taking a look around

making my way around

yet there’ nobody around

really

oh yeah we’re all there

but do we really care

are we really there

cause last time I saw a man crying on a bench

did the three couples that walk past him

even stop to say a thing

did the cop who walked past even give a nod

yet

when I saw this

I took a seat next to him

asked him if he needs anything

and he just stared in tears

just shy of sobbing

he shook his head

ever so gently

he shook his head

I may never know what had happened

why he was that way

so sad on a happy day

but I gave him my number

and after a while I walked away

and let him be

he never replied

I’ll never know why he gride

I’ll never know what it was

that made him that way

so sad on such a happy day
