You Smiled With The Grace Of A Teardrop
Which Fell Down Your Cheek When You Cried
Both Equally Frightening And Beautiful
And I Watched You
You Kissed With The Force Of A Punch In The Face
Which You Received Every Night From Your Father
Each The Only Affection You’d Ever Known
And I Watched You
You Sat Down With The Tranquility Of A Thunderstorm
Which Interrupted Your Dreams Of A Future
Both Actions Just As Comforting
And I Watched You
You Drew A Line In Your Flesh
With A Knife As Sharp As The Words
Which Made The Scars On Your Soul
Both The Same Terror And Hurt
And I Watched You
You Cried Out With The Intensity Of A Breath
So Immediate And Reflexive
Both Holding The Same Note On Your Lips
And I Watched You
You Fell To The Ground
With The Weight Of Laughter
Dead And On Deaf Ears
Each Scaring And Astounding Me
And I Watched You
You Stared Up With The Blankness Of A Mosaic
Seemingly Whole But Still Shattered
Each A Tiny Shard Of Glass In The Mirror Of Life
And I Watched You
You Touched Me With The Gentleness Of A Viper
Your Grip Smooth And Fatal
The Marks Left On My Skin Only
Fractions Of The Poison Left In Me
And I Watched You
You Released With The Leisure Of A Blink
So Long And Yet So Quickly Gone
Both Believing Never To Be Remembered By Those
Who Have Experienced Your Presence
And I Followed You
