Walk Away

Why does each step closer just put me farther away?
Why do I try to reach out?
To make some sort of contact?
Why don't you seem to notice?
Will you notice me beside you?
What if I grasped your hand, held on tight?
Will you jump at my touch?
Will you stare at our joined hands?
Or will you begin to walk away like I'm not there?
Will I lose what grip I have?
If I cry out when I stumble and fall, will you turn and help me?
No you continue walking
What do I do?
I watch you go
