I Look At You and See

“I Look at You and See….”

I look at you and see…….
the aftermath of issues you strapped me with
like the wake of a boat in the water

I look at you and see…….
you checking your watch as we walk side by side
hoping my demise comes soon so that you can be free

I look at you and see…….
a future of constant pain and disappointment
never really knowing you anymore

I look at you and see……….
That you never really loved me
always ready to exclude me from the healing
always ready to punish me for breathing
