that’s why she’s here
daydreaming around my memories
a crazy race back through time
fleeting glimpses of faces of past friends and lost loves
were those their faces, or my imaginations?
then, strangely, I remembered someone
and could see her face in every detail
there was a girlfriend once who worked at a special hospital
a place for those with troubled minds
and I visited her there – just the one time
as she walked me back to my car
I saw the most beautiful and saddest face I’ll ever see
so elegant, so graceful - almost unbearably beautiful
but empty eyes that had no life
I said it’s as if as if she has been to a terrible place
and it stole her eyes away
it did was the reply
that’s why she’s here
