I see you
standing on the left side of the fence
I see you
crying deep inside your defense
I see you
tighten your jaw when emotion hits your heart
I see you
acting stupid to hide your smarts
I see you
making decisions that will impact you forever
I see you
believing forever couldn't actually exist.
I see you
pain crippling down to your bones
a weakness you wont ever show
I see you
but you wont look me in the eyes
you wont tell me whats wrong
but i can see you
I can see you
I can see your love trying to shine
I can see the torture that's held it down
I can see the sorrow through the smiles
I can see the heartache beneath the front
I can see the bruises making scars
I can see each cut getting deeper than the last
I can see the oncoming regrets and the ones that have passed
I can see the guilt hiding behind the light in your eyes
Don't try to fool me
I've seen you since the first time i saw you
looking scared as **** but trying to front
When will you be ready
When will you see
You've been lost since you could think
and pushed past your brink
Slow it down and take a look inside
before its too late to take a step back
Don't let that pain keep you classified
We all need to be identified
Its going to hurt
It has to be hard
but how is that different from where you are
take my hand
follow me to a better space
Where its hard at first
but you finally find your place.
I have so many poems with your name attached. I wish I could bring you back.
