I SEE YOU

I visualise you, like it was yesterday I see you cradled in a child's pose, on a hot summers day You are knotted to the point I have no will power to untangle you As you look at me, in the now I still feel helpless You look at me with dead eyes and look through me There is no inner echoes of a cry for help You are entombed in your own world so deep you are lost You sit facing the sun, yet the sun does not shine on you or reflect a vision of you You radiate cold darkness I stand before you like a stranger My warmth and love for you does not radiate any spark; for you are lost in a world of darkness I stand before you and in front of you Only wishing you could see what I see in you And wishing you could feel and visualise what I feel for you Blood unites us, yet darkness has taken you away from me I see you still curled up, knotted up when I talk to you now on the present & no longer in the past, I am reminded that you are still her ( the you I see and visualise) I am reminded that you have created an imaginary world for yourself in order to cope with the realities of life All I wish is for you to untangle yourself I wish to imagine you no longer curled up or tangled up I wish for your laughter to represent a soul of truthfulness, for you remain emotionless even today I wish for you to know that feeling yet again would not shutter your world; it would only reunite you with yourself and let you live again I see you
