Watching

when days go by i reconcile my debts to pay
and try not to notice
how i cry over people every day
because i watch them walk
and watch them flee
i watch them run away from me....

i look back in the mirror
and see them pass
strutting by in a mass
walk on by a forgotten key
look for someone else but me....

happy faces all around
people looking up and
looking down
watching, waiting,
hoping, hating
to find what makes them see
