I Can See You, But No One Can
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.
