the photographs of her kids and loved ones,
sincerely smiling,
littered her desk,
she didn't want current pictures or to deal with their issues,
cause who would wanna be depressed,
gazing at the glass it easy,
when it's overflowing,
without really knowing,
how it came to be, that way,
and one of the kids he's a martial arts prodigy,
maybe he'll serve his
country one day.
go off to war and fight for his country,
while his,
apprehensive family,
waits back at home and they feels so alone cause their kids are grown
up now,
and they've lost,
touch now,
with the people that used to make life worth living to them,
driving home,
she sees a,
happy young couple,
hand-in-hand,
walking to their flat.
untarnished perspective, winding objective,
and unrelenting pair of youth and excitement,
and they feel so enlightened,
they say the world is your oyster,
bon appetite.
she's driving home now,
looks at her phone now,
and then looks,
back at the road now,
and how in the world did it come to this?
feeling more lost,
than an unwanted kiss or a cyst.
she gets back home,
opens the garage door,
nobody's home,
she falls to the floor,
collapses in tears,
from lonliness and fear,
echoes from her emptiness could be heard from,
miles away.
