I know, it isn't that great, but I thought I'd share it anyways..............



To See


You.
You......
I hate you
yet I love you
no matter the time that has past
it still seems like yesterday
time heals everything
what a joke
who made up that lie?
yes I'm obsessed
this I know
obsession is not good
at least that is what I'm told
would you not be?
if it was the first time you ever felt alive
so what if it was an illusion
we all live in illusion every day
I sink deep within myself
at least there I can pretend
all is fine
all is good
but deep beneath the surface
everything means little
little means anything
is love real
or is it fantasy
certainly if it was of any substance
it couldn't be stripped away with a word
or more precise the lack of them
words unspoken
how they haunt my mind
lives unlived
sickens me to death
why be caught up in the past
with the present here and now
I am angry
I am sad
I am lonely
my heart despairs
why the bars
why the walls
I always thought I was open
I was free
but most the time
I feel confined
it doesn't seem
it should be so hard
to reach out to another
and have them reach back
to connect
to recognize
to understand
that you are no longer alone.
People surround me
talking at me
not to me
"You are this"
"You are that"
but how can they know
when they never listen
to the heartbeat
buried beneath my chest
to the thoughts
that are crammed in my head
do they even
truly see
anything other than what they want
Maybe
Just maybe, you never did either.
I thought you did
I thought you saw
that I was worth something
that I was beautiful
I thought you understood
the words I said
the heart I have
but it could it be
you never did?
A chance
that never came
because our eyes are blocked
our sight is limited
you never really saw me
maybe my picture of you was unclear
but I know now, you never really did
see me
for me,
or I you.

Damn - what DO you consider Great?

The accuracy of the feeling - Great!

The ability to make me see the pain promoting the howl of indignation - Great!

My ability to shut up - limited but do-able...........>>>>>>>>

<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>I obviously enjoyed it.

LoL, thx, but please do go on............

some times,
"believing is seeing"



very nice

I thought this was a really good and confessional piece~right up my alley. Greatness, much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder my friend. Take another look at this piece~

Self reflection, introspection, just simply a wonderful write-many can relate too

To sum it up as to you.
Let it go, so you can grow.
He seen you, he just didn't want to take the time to know you.
Be free to feel another, who this time.
Wants to really feel you......your heart!

Great look into your heart. Thank you..

And if you can shut her up...and astound her, you're doing Great...lol. Very well done.

This comming from Wolf! Awesome! I couldn't agree more!

Oh! and Excellent Write!

Favorite Part

Excellent write darlin'. Do not underestimate the communications of your Soul....Powerful!

No worries. It is all a matter or perspective. There are times the mind and heart are clear, and there are others where debri needs to be cleared.......this was my way of cleansing.

Of course, he did see and so did I, or our souls would never have met............and I would not have been changed by the experience as I was........however, you can have a moment or even several of clear vision, but there are things in life that can cloud in if you let it........how many of us do?

Thanks everyone for reading, and your kind words of encouragement..........
