Look Within

I saw him again today,
Sitting in a corner forlornly
Pleading me to listen to his story
I reach out to him
I tried to hold his hand
But it's like on the far end

I saw the sorrow in his eyes
The pain he cannot voice
I saw the tears rolled down his cheek
I tried to wipe it away but cannot reach
"Alas my friend,"I cried
"What has happen to thee?"

He mouthed something back at me
I strained my eyes but could not hear
But once I saw his eyes it became clear
The pain and sorrow was too much to bear
And there is no one whom he can share
For there is always no one there.

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I wept uncontrollably
And I know he is weeping silently
Cause he is but a reflection of me.
Who will ever understand the depth of my sorrow?
Who can I tell but myself
The story of my grief?
