Where has everyone gone?
Why does no one come?
Have I done something wrong?
I look around the empty room
And see nothing but machines
And not liking the empty feel

I try to stop the blackness
But it comes with such a force
Nothing but company shall ever halt it

But wait who is that I see?
It is just my shadow
To be my only company

Glancing down at the watch on my wrist
So much time and so little to do
I have not any a clue

I let myself think of other things
Of happy times I shared with you
Just the memory lights up the room

The blackness is such a lightened shade now
And I feel so much lighter
Time flies by and how

Glancing at my watch once more
I see someone else at the door
I’m done for the day, and will not be back until Monday
