Sally Nesmith

I never noticed you before.
Always quiet and ignored.
Never made yourself known.
Nothing of your soul was shown.
...

We see each other on the streets
yet, still we look away
we once were called the best of friends
that day is not today
...

I look around and stare
at box i am imprisoned
from within...
its dark
...

I felt like i had no one
and then you just appeared
to save me from my mind
of which i was in fear
...

I've grown a lot these past few years...
but not expecting much
no hug
no talks
...

I'm in some dark place here,
don't know where to go....
I can see you,
but only so faint
...

We see you in the bed
your chest move up and down
...

When i find myself alone
and look around and see
no one else is there
i look deep inside of me
...

As I lie in the middle of my bed
I pull my legs in close
tears slowly move down my face
I act tough so no one knows
...

There is only one way
to express how i feel
about my life
about my dreams
...

Sometimes i know, that you are near
although i can't see you
and you are not clear
i feel your presence all around
...

You are so comfortable
right here beside me
and right here beside me
is where you should be
...

You left me in this place
as though i was a waste
you left me here alone
my life alone to face
...
