Sunk costs

There are eyes I can see
that I never saw
staring, round, scared

Not haunting me
but there at a beckon
adding melancholy
to my soup of the day

Not that I loved her
but she was so lost
so alone, so desparate
I couldnt not reach out

And when she left
she lost her way again
I threw her little lifebuoys
of cash and care and attention

but she floundered,
foundered.
