Rooftops by Danni

To be alone you have to be surrounded by people.
I'm just a few hundred meters above the strip.

Rooftops.
Alone. Watching people.
People who say goodbye to be alone again.
I'm just standing there watching.
The city, the people, the lights.

In the middle of the desert
You can find enough current and water.
Enough for a huge city.
Maybe a whole country.

And somehow my mind wanders again.
Why are mortals killing others?
It's my job to answer that.
But I'll never understand why.

I know you never ask why, just how.
But I'm different. I want to understand.
But I can't.

And then again I see lights.
Lights that keep me going.
That move me along.
Everyday.

You are one of the brightest.
Sometimes I think I could just jump.
Jump into the world. Not caring for what will be.

But then again there are people who need me.
People who are my lights.
Maybe I'm alone. But never lonely.
