I watched you

with eyes young and naive

you were the only one around

I watched you

drink away the day

and slip off into oblivion.

I watched you

with eyes young and weary

you and some mystery man from the bar

I watched you

scream and tear into each other

and dogged flying objects.

I watched you

with eyes aged and cold

from behind the glass

I watched you

waste away and give up

and I turned away so you wouldn't see me cry.
