She was a witness to disaster
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And emotional upheaval
\nShe\u2019d seen families that were torn apart
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And in economic despair
\nThere were carnal violations
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was blood upon the easel
\nBut she didn\u2019t seem to notice
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Or she didn\u2019t seem to care<\/p>\n
You said happiness is a puzzle
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some unworkable conundrum
\nAnd life is never really that
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What life appears to be
\nLove and hate and in between
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sorrow, joy or boredom
\nWe\u2019ll not project the paladin
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And not impose our sympathy<\/p>\n
I was sitting in a diner
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You were right across the table
\nI was drinking coffee
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You were busy with your phone
\nI asked if you were happy
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You didn\u2019t even answer
\nI thought I caught a smile from you
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I could never know<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
