I Can See You, But No One Can

Mon, 07/06/2015 - 03:34 -- E_Jae

I tried to think of who you were in my mind-

I tried to remember who you were in my life-

But I couldn't even form a clear picture of you- 

I couldn't think of your face that drove me into insanity-

Maybe it was because you didn't have a face, 

But I swear you did-

I swear you were alive and real at one point because how can something I cannot see shun me into not wanting to see-

Maybe you were a figment of my imagination-

But I remember you sitting next to me that day when I-

I swear you are real-

How can I ever imagine up something as evil and terrifying as you-

How can I think of something that I wouldn't ever want to see- 

So you see I know you are real-

You see I can feel you here-

I wish you weren't and would stop following me around,

For your cold dark shadow you cast over me is freezing-

I know you're here- 

Everyone says you aren't- 

I know you are-

Some say that you can go away and that I should stop feeling you around me as if you were a stormy cloud that was wrapped around my mind-

I swear you're here-

I wish you'd leave-

I wish you'd leave even if that means I will be alone again-

Alone is better than being in your presence-

Alone is where I once felt home as-

But sadly alone was the result of you.
