Scrooge's Window

Standing on the outside, looking in.
You swear not to get involved.
It's not your place.
Just sit and watch.
The voice tells you
"Stay where you are.
It's for the best."
"But what if..."
you reply.

Over and Over
you both ramble.
But in the end.
You know the outcome.
So quietly you sit.
Alone and silent.
Watching for the end.
