Like To A Lonely Dragon
by S&M

Sitting in a dimly lit kitchen
your house doesn’t feel like a home
There’s a constant ringing in the background
but you don’t pick up the phone

Shadows pass over you
of those dear and gone
Sleepy eyes can’t stay open
long enough to mourn

Concentration is dying
and your screams turn into yawns
Mind wandering desperately
looking for something to cling on

Friends can shower you with sympathy
and occupy you when you’re alone
But fleeting ideas keep entering your head
And their chatter turns into a drone

Women only take up a few hours
and you go through them without a moan
Your coldness leaves them in shivers
and their names stay unknown

Depression gnaws your brain
And an ache develops in your bones
Forgotten melodies rise to your ears
and you can smell your brother’s cologne

A few knocks before an entrance
Discovering you sitting there like stone
My concern brought a smile to your lips
when you realized you were never on your own
