Story of being human and alone in the 60's

I miss the summer heat, and the love I once recieved,
before I turned 
seventeen.
Respect is hard to come by,
now sitting, watching her sing lullabies to her newborn baby,
I can't relate.
She looks out the open window, glaring like she's just another neighbor down the street,
In which I do not live. 
I'm waiting for love,
which dares not to come.
Knowing it would be found, found out.
The loose woven threads of my jacket tangle together as I crunch the fabric into the fist I'm making.
There's no point,
belive me, if anyone should know,
It's me.

  • leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man. 

  • too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul. 

  • watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
