I'M Here, Do You See Me

Each morning, the alarm sounds The same old sound day in and day out Instantly, I sink into a scripted role play As I awake to a new day Glaring through the windows is such a distant sunrise Distant being the only feeling that I recognize Five O'Clock A.M., the smell of coffee fills the house Lunch is made and packed away No words are spoken just as if I was the maid A repeated kiss on the forehead As if my lips fill you with dismay Inside my soul, screaming.... pleading.... I'm here, Do you see me? My divine presence falls into the dark shadows My light only shines when the ache of hunger begins A deep thirst rises Or the bare of your skin needs to be clothed The love I need comes from the one I miss the most Off to work we go, no talks in between Oh wait, maybe a message every now and then; Same time, same contents Leaving me to wonder I'm here, Do you see me? Are you growing tire of me? Who will capture your eyes next? Rushing home as the day is fading away Time to cook a meal Clean, day in day out, it's the same deal Clouds of darkness comes upon us No conversation no, "How was your day?" Phone in hand, games playing, TV roaring in the background I seemingly become more and more quiet My soul still screaming..... I'm here, Do you see me? Between the two of us, there's no intimacy My light only shines when your needs rise I'm here, ready to serve My script no longer needs to be rehearsed.
