| When I See You | |

When I see you, I see a shrivelled heart, But still as potent and steady, Fiery and vibrant, As ever, In a copper wire frame, That is bending in on itself. A much too delicate work of art. I see a lampshade of fine wispy hair, I try to see the ever-glowing light behind it. When I see you, It is magnified and blurred with pearly tears. I see a fossil, Caked in compressed, dusty, dirty, strangling Earth. When I see you, I am hopeful, thankful, frantic. I see a gorgeous metallic dragonfly with mirrored wings, But they have bent in on themselves, And you are reflecting your pain, Into that swelling heart, That just can’t take anymore, But needs so much more. When I see you, I can’t bear to see you, Because your appearance has betrayed you, And when I see you, I know that when I leave, I will cry.
