You and I - A Poem Across Space And Time

Your idealism won't feed you,
I've had a belly-full of dreams.
Your sadness tears my eyes,
I've suffered all the games.

You ask how it's going,
I wondered at your concern.
You say because you care,
I was unsure which 'it' it was.

You tell me you're alone,
I was in isolation too.
You ask if there's a reason,
I couldn't say what was.

You are lost as a child,
I was missing as a man.
You are happier being without,
I was saddened with all I had.

You talk of satisfaction,
I laughed in my despair.
You say it's better,
I saw your smile's lie.
