The Invisible Man: In Make Believe Poem by Paula Glynn

I talk to the invisible man
I wish he were there
And would reply:

To my every argument
To my every opinion
To my every thought
To my every desire

To my whims and wants
And even petty needs
Where he would advise me
About what he sees
What he knows about me
When he looks at me
When he glances in my direction
And tells me I'm beautiful
Just the way I am,

Even though single
Even though living alone
Always reading library books
And watching DVDs

But he looks out for me
Tells me the truth
And never argues
Never makes a fuss
The man from make believe
Where him only I perceive,

And he never insults me
Or strikes me
For he is my best friend
That man only I can see
And the only man
That guides me
Through thick and thin,

Spinning on that empty computer chair
The empty sofa
The empty bedroom
The empty kitchen
A man I wish were there

And I say goodbye
To my invisible man
And know it is God
I have been talking to all along
My heart broken
God healing my heart
Of a man I loved forever gone.
