contact

i know you're a stranger

but can i ask you to

sit down for awhile

you see i'm tired of

talking to myself

and could use a woman's voice to

tell me that they're listening

i promise you

i'll do no harm

conversation is all i'm after

won't you share

your lilting melody with me

i'm a man that's broken

and i need the empathy of 

someone soft and strong

being alone is one thing but

being invisible is a different thing altogether

i want to thank you for

taking the time

you look very important in

your business suit and

your hair combed back 

i'm sure you've got important things to do

it was only a fraction of the clock

but time means nothing to me

i shared a connection 

i shared a conversation

but mostly i shared contact 

and i've been missing for so long

A sad and solemn poem, yet there seemed to be a sense of happiness as well when he found a woman to talk to and to listen to him. I found myself wanting to keep him company. An excellent poem..well written. Something so simple to bring him happiness. This exists in a lot of people, lonely, needing not riches in monetary value but the riches of a friend. Excellent..I loved it!!

A nice piece of tenderness coming from one who talks to others when there feeling down! Nice penning:)
