Ever Really See Me

by Michael J Falotico
                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                         
                                               Did you ever really see me..
                                     Or was I just a paper doll for you to keep..
                                       You let me go like a cool morning rain..
                                  You waved goodbye and never really saw the pain..
                                               But did you ever really see me..
                                           Was I just a cup to fill up your tears..
                                        Or just a cloth to wipe away your fears..
                                             My heart was cracked and set free..
                                                But did you ever really see me..
                                                   You never really did at all...

I see myself in this piece, but I also see something more. There's a depth to this, that has seeped at times. It's certainly one that I'll revisit at leisure, and maybe I'll see it's past. The title is opening....have a fine Sunday Michael.....:)

Had similar experiences in the past, Michael. Sometime people we come to love never really do see us for who we are. Sadly, this makes me think of my own sister. I love her, but she doesn't "know" me anymore. Beautifully written! Love, Carolyn
