A Wasted Life

Eyes look
But do not see past the obvious
Lips speak
Thoughtless, meaningless rhetoric
Ears hear the spoken word
And nothing more
Hands reach to hold
And find emptiness

A life exists
But is not experienced

Such a tragic waste
Of such a precious gift

Oh, this is so sad, yet a beautiful write.
