Observing
you know that...
I just observe.
the way you avoid looking at me.
the pretended superiority in laughing at me.
I watch you anyway.
when you eat, when you play.
I see you happy through the curtain of my tears.
I'll write everything down.
cataloging each contempt.
words and gestures.
your loves, your victories.
I am this dark thing.
this nameless pain.
this mountain of wrath.
the accumulation of everything that is negative.
you really don't have eyes for me.
but I'm always here.
I'll always be here.
and when you realize it will be too late.
you will also be part of my being that grows without end.
