__In Time__ To be understood, that’s all I needed. To be touched, not just skin-deep but _soul deep._ _But I was never truly seen._ _My eyes dulled_ ___hollowed.___ _Yours… gone._ I watched from behind _invisible bars_ As you kept living. A ___hollow man,___ _buried in memories._ _Stuck in the past,_ _Convicted by what I did,_ ___By what we were,___ ___By your love,___ ___your promises.___ And I still wonder… _Did God turn His face from me?_ _Did_ ___your eyes ever really care?___ _Was I just a stepping stone on your cruel little journey?_ ___“I love you,”___ I whispered, Heart still waiting for you to _come home._ _Mind frozen in time,_ ___A relic___ _waiting to be remembered._
