I can see you.

by Willow   Aug 17, 2007


I can see you,
Going about you daily tasks.
But suddenly you stop,
Unconsciously removing your masks.

I can see the tears fall down your face,
As you fall towards the floor.
I can see you look at a photograph,
Then watch you cry some more.

I can feel your tears upon my skin,
And taste their bitterness on my lips.
I can hear your broken cries,
And feel your heart break into bits.

Suddenly I feel so hopeless,
Because I did this to you.
I sit here watching you break apart,
Not knowing what to do.

If only I hadn't been so greedy,
By taking my own life away.
You wouldn't want someone to hold you,
While you fell apart this way.

I decided to leave you alone to cry,
Because it's the best thing to do.
I'll come back another day,
Just to sit and watch you.

    You do have an amazing talent to capture what your feeling and put it down in words, which I find hard at times. Sadly this is the only reason thats kept me from going all the way and ending it, the pain I'd leave others with =( Hang in there and another fantastic work of art ^_^ 5/5
