my old friend

Shayl

He sat all alone,

My old friend.

He never looked up, 

But he never looked down.

My old friend,

Never looked at me.

Whenever I tried to talk to him,

He never answered.

It was as if he wasn't even there.

Now I sit in a white rubber room,

Cause I told mommy.

My old friend walked into the room,

He walked right through me.

For he was never there,

My old friend.
