A Stranger
I shook hands with a shadow
The familiar face belonged to a stranger
No twinkling eyes sharing a secret
Lips once always smiling instead
Pulled down, a permanent frown
That once dreamy, melodic voice
Now raspy, a record gone old, scratched
A strong presence robbed of spirit and left
Loneliness remains and the wait begins
