A Lonesome Fool Poem by Robert Beksinski

A city sidewalk of separation

Strangers crowd with the absence of heart

So dull, so gray, quiet and cold

A city sidewalk of desperation

Carrying this lonely soul in these shoes

Running to cancel the distance between the apathetic populous

I am a lonesome fool, forced to wander

A city sidewalk turned into a stage of hope

A spark of life returned to my shallow mind

Your beauty ignites amongst the slums

Our eyes meet for the first and last time

As we cross paths with our destiny and walk in opposite directions

Afraid of love but wanting nothing but IT

Stuck in an ironic cycle of daydream movie style romance

A city sidewalk on my way home

The strangers are wrong, I refuse to believe them

IT is real, I’m not giving up but for now…

I will sleep and dream, until reality is better
