sEE mE

by chritty - Aries



Do you see me
she asked him one night
the real me
or the me that I could become
he sat there in silence
looking up at her
she waited for him to answer
but he just hung his head 
finally after a while he said
your present yourself
in a way that I never could
you pretend to be brave and bold
and very self confident
even though you are dying inside
tell me when you look in the 
mirror who do you see
what is it your trying to hide
she sat down on the floor
and quietly looked up at him
it doesn’t matter who I see she said
all that matters is who do you see
when you look at me
he ran his fingers through his dark 
 hair
I see a girl waiting to break free
to escape this world she hates
a girl ready to run away
the first chance she gets
I see many let downs and broken hearts
yet your pretend nothing is wrong
I see the disguise you use so well
behind the pain and sorrow
 I  see the person that I love
a person I want to grow old with
a person I would die for
what do you see
she had began to cry
he slowly touched her face
When I look at me she said
I see pain and I see revenge
I see a life that can’t be forgiven
I see my life spinning out of control
I see you without me
continuing to grow
at night I cry because I do not like what I see
you say you love me but is it just pretend
you tell me you need me
but will you be there for me in the end
are you lying to make me happy
or have my eyes deceived me
tell me why do you love me
what is it that you see
perhaps you are right he said
maybe I am only pretend
day after day I try and convince
myself
that its you I love and no one else
I want you to believe
that when I look at you I see me
a person afraid to be alone
a person who needs shelter from the storm
I tried to hide these feelings of doubt
but you just wont let me
its simply not allowed
you say that I pretend to love you
perhaps that may be true
but how can I love you
I must be honest to myself
and you should do the same
how can you love me
when its hard for you to love yourself
