She Wasn't There

There she sat in her wheel chair

Others just like her everywhere

I kissed her forehead and stroked her hair

She smiled at me, but she wasn't there

She was off on a journey to the past

Reinventing memories she gleefully expressed

She ignored the questions I had asked

Answers were her impossible task

Her blue eyes danced but were far away

She was a character in her self-starring play

Tears stung my face when I walked away

No, she wasn't there again today
