days would go by

days
would go by without
him
saying a word.
no one
stopped by,
the phone never rang,
the doorbell
never sounded.
what friends there were,
were gone
to places unknown.
sometimes
he'd go to the window
to look
out on the world
he used to know.
he thought that things
might change
at some point,
but no.
