what eyes need shielding from, but cannot help but see..


I'm ok as long as I don't see you

Seeing you again

When you are

A voice message only

And when my eyes

Only live

On flash-back memories

Then it is possible

At brave moments

To unthink our being together



When all I have

Is a foggy snapshot of you

Without me in the same frame

Then it is possible

To unlink the threads

Unclasp the holding hands

See you apart from me

all separately yourself.



But when I see you

Again and again

A thousand times per second

Seeing all of you

That I have indelibly seen

Seeing all and yet nothing at all

Then no undoing can be done

No unseeing can be sought

No unthinking can be thought.



If I then don't see you

For long enough

Then maybe I'll find a way

To think of life ahead

Apart from you

But, now

All I think of

Feel in need of

Long for

Is you



Still

And again

Still you

Always you
