inside, outside


.

I splash water
on my face
....brown eyes
tiptoe past
peaceful rooms
with small beds
..and long lashes
to the kitchen
..to my morning coffee
across the table
from.....her place
and..I just want to write
a poem to that space
..and to the coffee
and the lashes

..that's usually
when I notice (him)
out the window
..in (his) car
just watching
always...watching
with the saddest
brown eyes
I have ever
......seen

Attempting to understand the specific meaning behind this. Is it about a man living his life feeling as though he's an outsider and wishing to be part of it?

It's about a man who is feeling grateful because he could very easily be the man in the car...
