Checkmate pt. XII

I know he's lonely
I watch him wander alone at church
I watch him analyze the hurt

I know he's lonely

He doesn't smile much at all
My prayers echo off the walls

I know he's lonely

If only he was my brother
Through one ear, and out the other

I know he's lonely

His momma cries
So do I

I know he's lonely

Guilt, not doubt
That I had to turn around

I know he's lonely

Just a little bit too tricky
Warding off the guilt that hits me

I know he's lonely

Don't catch tears behind those glasses
Chance for conversation passes

I know he's lonely

Walks by himself like I used to

What am I supposed to do?
