he wasnt on the other side of town
he was on the other side of life...
thats what i've been trying to tell you!
he didnt just go for a walk out there
he went to punch his time-card.

i could see it in his eyes--
the gloom behind the smiles.
the jokes to cover the pain,
the laughter to hide the shame...

he told me once,
he didnt choose to check-in--
when he checked out,
he kept the key...

You touch the sad side of my heart, but in a lovely way--I feel the pain, and dissapointment here. Good poem!  David
