A poem by my little cousin;
I see you,
Looking at a piece of art,
Tracing its contour,
Fascinated,
Somehow you found beauty in construction,
and hidden beauty in destruction.
I see you,
Playing the piano all alone,
and how your fingers swiftly danced,
You barely could understand the notes,
Yet you played music with the greatest passion.
I see you,
Flipping through the album,
Looking at your pictures,
How you used to smile so brightly,
Funny how people thought you are happy,
When none of your smiles are real.
I see you,
Sitting before a window,
Looking at the busy city,
How they brought you loneliness,
To keep you awake for the rest of the night.
I see you,
Hiding your scars,
Under thick layers of clothing,
and hiding your feelings,
Behind thick layers of unbreakable walls.
I see you,
Staring back at me,
Looking right into my soul,
and you read my mind,
I can see,
How your lips curved
When you read bliss,
and twitched in pain,
When you reached my dark side.
I see you,
Trying hard to sleep,
Shutting your eyes close,
and your waist, now empty,
When it used to be wrapped,
By a pair of warm arms.
I see you,
Alone in your bedroom,
Looking in the mirror,
Staring at me,
With a blank face,
You used to talk about yourself,
and you still do.
//thank you sweetie <3
