You Once Saw Me

Need or Love?

You are deaf to my soul

Did you ever see ME?

Why can I not rise

To take in air

And be part of you, too?

Has my gift been a tiny coin only?

Do you know your own role in the US of US?

I wait as if in wake

To be a star in your eyes, part of a unit, a pair whom

Can be One.

With a dire wish, on my knee,

I look at you from my side of our sea

Hurt, still, I pull away and run

What is now, has been a copy

Of our loss, not fed

In many a year.

To heal, to see, one must hear

The sun is ours 'til it sets

We have to make it to one more rise of it's warm, beam of hope

In pink, red and gold it will come up over the sea

Will you look at me then?
