Outside

I stand on the outside looking in, the glass is thick it distorts the view
The laughing faces turns to each other in a silent dance around counless tables
The food! The wine! The splendour lit by flickering candles
I watch and wait. I watch and wonder why
I shiver in the cold I turn and try to walk away but the walls of the hole I've dug myself are too steep

I turn, I rage

A little child looks down and spins my world
He throws in a doll for me to play with and makes up stupid games and I play them
I know there is more and I try to change the rules
I think and I try to move but without him I cannot and I sit until he returns to give me little boy games to play

I am here and I want out of my box
I am among the connected ones but I've lost my frequency to a glitch
I tune in again but static cuts the line
I sit and wait and the little boy plays and the other world goes on without me and I fade as memories of minor characters do
I know, I know but again I go
To hide in the dark
All the world is dark
When you live with your eyes closed
