Reflexion

It is strange
The way people are never satisfied.

Your eyes tell me that you are troubled.
That there is something wrong.

But, of course, it is nothing.

Of course, talk is not the answer.

Of course, despair is not the question.

Of course, you are alone.

Of course, you will be forgotten.

Of course, you will waste away.

But if I could,
If you want to,
If it makes you feel better,
I would trade adventures with you.

But of course, you wouldn't.
