He was always there 
He never was late 
No tardies at all 
Always a clean slate 
 
No one saw him 
No one bothered  
No love of a mother 
Or even a father 
 
Peaceful days 
Quiet nights 
He never fussed 
He never would bite 
 
Only one bed 
One single book 
His own little room 
His own little nook 
 
No friends 
And no enemies  
His reflection  
His only company  
 
Never laughed 
Never cried 
Always calm 
Always satisfied  
 
No girlfriend  
No wife 
No love at all 
A simple life 
 
On his grave 
When life was spent 
Only four words 
He came and went
