The Loner
August 15, 2018
He was always there
He never was late
No tardies at all
Always a clean slate
No one saw him
No one bothered
No love of a mother
Or even a father
Peaceful days
Quiet nights
He never fussed
He never would bite
Only one bed
One single book
His own little room
His own little nook
No friends
And no enemies
His reflection
His only company
Never laughed
Never cried
Always calm
Always satisfied
No girlfriend
No wife
No love at all
A simple life
On his grave
When life was spent
Only four words
He came and went
