Gone

I am afraid you are so far gone that even now I could never find you

Sometimes I see you in the eyes of the ones I love

but I do not see you in my eyes

where you belong.

I didn’t see you last night when he touched my leg

and kissed my cheek

I didn’t see you when he was kind

or when all he wanted was to be close to you

I saw you slipping away in each moment

quicker than the last

I didn’t see you on the drive home

when you should have been all smiles

because this is what you’ve wanted after all

wasn’t it?

What frightens me the most is that

I don’t see you when I look in the mirror
