he stands in the middle of the street
surrounded by throngs of people
looking around he finds himself
in the midst of the crowd
yet all alone
he stands by himself
a stranger in a foreign land
watching the world pass him by
no one stops to listen
his cries go unheard
he stands silently
watching her from a distance
watching her pass him by
the sands of time
are being washed away
he stands on the edge
on the verge of falling
disturbed, deranged
he desperately seeks salvation
but he is all alone
