The silence is bitter, absences are painful, the memories upset him, and he shows his sadness. The burden of loneliness numbs his damaged body, the sorrow he feels is reflected in his eyes. He's tormented by thoughts, he doesn't foster hopes, he stops on a corner, and his pale hands tremble. He wants somebody to retrieve the monotony of every day, his family has neglected him, lack of love is evident.
