The Hermit
Rick Swartzentrover - 05-24-98
The Hermit sits in his four-walled prison
He is ever alone but not by choice
Abandoned and betrayed, cold and bitter he sits alone
He dreamt he had friends once in a far off land
But they are too far and perhaps they never existed
Except in a momentary dream of a short vacation
Everyday is the same, every moment like the last
No one touches. no one hugs, no lover to kiss
He hears people say life is too short
But for him life is never short enough
He lays in bed and dreams of a life that will never be
A life not filled with alone but full of we
