Watching From A Distance Two Lovers Kissing In The Dark

how sadly
can i be watching two lovers kissing
in the dark
from a distance

my hands are inside my pocket
it is cold
the night is lighted with nothing
but a
lone star

now i remember her again
alone in the dark
waiting for me

i offer no explanation for my
absence
i have nothing on my hand to wipe
her tears

i have no more words
