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.
