Do you see me ?
i walk through the cold dark morgue,
to where you weep over me,
i walk upon silent feet,
reaching towards you,
my heart breaking at your pain,
do you see me?
i stand by your side at the grave,
wishing i could tell you i love you,
seeking to hold you in my arms,
making everything right again,
it hurts watching you suffer so,
do you see me?
i lay beside you in our bed,
watching you hold the picture of us in your arms,
sobs of grief like rain upon our faces,
i want to brush away the tears,
and heal your broken heart,
do you see me?
i sit beside you in the early morning light,
as you stare at the bottle in your hands,
i feel your dispair and your grief,
so i touch your cheek and you cry once more,
do you see me?
is it me that causing you this pain?
putting you through all this suffering?
maybe i should let you go,
let you heal and forget me,
so you can live once more,
as the woman i love not this broken shell,
please dont see me…..
Excellent. Was the last stanza really necessary I wonder.
Before reading the last lines, I was kind of prepared with the line ‘love is blind’ as my comment, but then I stopped and reread the whole poem.
Bon travail !
