is it you?
will it be you? always.

who is the one, whose eyes are glazing upon me so hatefully?
is it you maybe?
who is the one, whose hand is touching my skin so lovingly?
maybe, just maybe you?

will you tell me I'm beautiful?
(body, mind and soul)
will you look me in the eyes?
(mirror/window)
will you carry me when I'm falling?
(I'm crumbling)

or has it already been done?
by you, maybe?

    This one sounds like someone who isn't quite sure if they've lost someone they love. It's like how you feel after a rotten argument with your lover, one where one of you ends up walking out the door and the person left behind the closed door is just staring at it blankly, wondering, "is it you?"

    I like it, eMMI-lou! :)

    Oeh, the question marks, I can't help but wonder. But then again that's probably what you were aming for. Well done for the feel you gave this poem it really comes across. nice reading matirial thank you.

    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»
