I've seen you .


I've seen you happy, unhappy I've seen your heart bleed I was there with disappointment When I couldn't control The deep sadness you had I've seen you Happy, as your charming winks Activated the adrenaline in me I've seen the hunger in your eyes When the taste of your chaotic lips Intensified me . I've seen you Weak and broken, It killed me ! I've seen you scared, One knock on the door Almost broke us I've seen your Angry self, spitting Words that show What a work I am ! I've seen salty clear tears Running down your brave skin As my confused thoughts Rushed with ideas to cease it all I've seen you love me But, it killed me When I couldn't love you back .
