“Lonely Window”

  As I watch an infant play,

  As I watch a child play,

  As I watch a daughter play,

  As I watch a son play

  As I watch a family play,

  As I watch strangers play,

  As I watch friends play,

  As I watch and never play.

I Scream!

  “Can I come out and play?”

  My vision blurs with teardrops now.

  As I die of loneliness.

  For no one knows I am there….

  In that “Lonely Window”
