I drove uptown for lunch.
I power-napped to dream.
I walked along the tracks.
I forced myself to scream.

'Cause everywhere I go, I see you.
I see you.

I tried to let it go.
I did the first time through.
I forgave the you with her.
I got a he with you...

Now everywhere I go, I see you.
I see you for you.

I heard your sorry plea.
I heard your you love me.
I saw your you with him.
I saw you turn away from me.

So everywhere I go, I see you.
I see you betray me.

I think I'll take a rest.
I think I'll be OK.
I pray for someone new.
I pray for real love someday.

Yet everywhere I go, I see you.
I see you...
Losing out on me.


Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

I liked the repetitive style. It keeps the reader focused on the pain.

Nice work, Carri.

The poem does keep you focused on the pain.  You could almost see blood spurting from your mouth as you read and you talk through it.  Until at the end where you stand firm, but shaken.

Read this and pretend your reading from Jesus's point of view, but the end is different.

I liked the repetive style as well.  But my favorite part was the last couple of lines.

Well done.
