Window Shopper

Life is sometimes really unfair

Showing us things that really aren’t there

It’s like reading a cover of a book

Sometimes all we can do is look

We never know what it’s like inside

And it’s not up to us to decide

Fate has already made up its mind

That life is going to be unkind

It always shows us what we can’t possess

How we get around it is anyone’s guess

We see people living extravagant lives

And we can only envy as they thrive

Like a child wanting an expensive toy

But it’s another unattainable joy

We see love and envy romance

In our hearts we would kill for a chance

But sometimes it’s just not meant to be

Or at least we feel like we may never see

That fairy tale ending we want real bad

And we live on, still alone and sad

It’s all so close and yet so far

We feel it’s part of who we are

Like you’re that character in the story

Who tries so hard but finds no glory

Like a window shopper in the rain all wet

Wanting something, we can never get
