You, walked into my life
You looked burdened
I could not tell if it was your backpack
Or your life
That was too heavy
It was your step
There was no bounce
Just one foot in front of the other
Maybe it was your drawn face
Expressionless
Focused on the road directly before you
And the weight on your shoulders
It was as if it was all you could do
Too afraid to look up
Look ahead
At the future
I felt for you
Hopelessness
Despair
The light turned greenĀ
And I walked out of your life
