Gabrielle's Silence
by The Bard Gabrielle

No greater pain
Can there be
Than to watch you
Day in and day out
Always on the outside
Of your life
Watching you day in
And day out
Are you even aware
Of the things I know?
Things others see
And speak of?
Do you care?
Am I ever
In your thoughts?
Am I ever
In your dreams?
Do you know
That I exist
And that you
Have become
The center of
My existence.
A single glance
A single phrase
Makes me believe
I see through you.
Do you understand
How my mind works?
Is this what you have
Set out to do?
If so, are you impressed
With yourself?
I will give up
All I have
To follow you.
I will give up
All I know
To be with you.
I will give up
All I am
To be what you want.
Why is it I am
Unable to give up
My silence
And tell you
How I feel?
