You Should See Me I know you don't know what it's like to wake in the night Then to wonder what you've just been through But, on my side of the world, I have to learn how to fight Only the shell of who I was remains being without you... You should see me how lonely I am here in the dark Staring at the ceiling for just a glimpse of comfort in prayer For I know by heart the lines and texture overhead How I try so hard to create a little something of you up there... The morning, much the same, as I face the new sun You should see me beg to the skies that today be the day That I may find my friend with her own set of wings Strong enough, that together, we can fly away... You should see me when the skies turn colors at dusk I melt like ice beneath a warm summers rain I see you so clearly in the sky when the day is near done You should see me try to hold on to any clouds that remain... You wouldn't believe what the waters hold when you are gone It takes everything I have to walk away from such blue For lines of hope and chance surely runs down my face Oh, and you should see me trying to touch my reflection of you... You'll never see a heart lose in so many ways like mine But, I never know which moment will be my very last time And, you should see the many tears this girl has cried You should see me, My friend, how I've slowly died...

Well Saunni, you wrote this so beautifully but it is so intricately sad. I read so many things in this poem, but fear being the main one. Great poem. To see real beauty ~ being blindfolded helps! ~* Mysteria *~ |

I do see you my friend. . . but not in this way. . . your heart and spirit show one that has gotten past this. . . well written. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
