Never Again
I do not sit at my table anymore
not because it is old and battered
I do not want to sit alone
where once my chairs were full.
I do not look into the mirror anymore
not because it is old and cracked
it holds a truth I fear
I shall not look upon my vanished youth.
I do not open the window anymore
not because it is rusted shut
I once went outside into a bright sun
now i fear the noise and seek solitude.
