Poetry / I Know You're Watching

You’re watching… still.
I know it.
I can feel you watching me.
Don’t bother looking away,
but your thoughts bring mine to you.
I can’t seem to escape.
I wish you would allow it.
You don’t know what you’re doing to me.
Keeping me here.
Binding me.
Restraining and containing me.
Let me go. No!
My cage seems to be comforting,
you keep me in darkness.
I burrow closer,
seeking warmth.
But I’m left cold.
And alone.
I know you peek at me.
You’re watching.
Now. Can you see me?
Scribbling and writing?

Crying?

I think you are.
I think you know.

You never knew me in pain.

I don’t even know myself.
But I see my reflection in your eyes.
I see your silhouette in my dreams.’
Your shadow follows me.

It’s you- your eyes.
You’re watching me.
But you probably don’t even recognize me…
You never knew me in pain.
And I don’t even know myself.
