Sit and Stare 2
As I sit with my friends
In the green comfy chair
I laugh and I smile
At their stories of guile
I forget my own life
Filled with pain and with strife
My focus starts to stray
Their voices fade away
So I sit and I stare
As if no one was there
Then I snap back to now
Their explanations go on
So I listen and watch
While the story unfolds
And it ends as it should
All tied up in a bow
At the end of the hour
Now my mood turns sour
As my friends fade away
And my life rushes back
So I sit and I stare
Since there was no one there
Only TV.
