Can’t You See?



I look at you,

You turn your head,

You tie your shoe

As if I’m dead-

If but you knew.

Why I look, 

I can’t explain-

The glance I took, 

Without a brain-

An open book.

Can’t you feel,

Can’t you see

You’re everything to me?



You’re honest and true,

You’re funny and smart-

You’re an angel’s bright hue

And a genius at art-

I’m too plain for you.

Your eyes are my sun

Your voice, my light

Your laughter’s my fun

Your guidance my sight-

You’re the one.

Why can’t you hold me near?

Why can’t you love me dear?



You’re in my dreams,

Wrapped in my arms-

I’m buried deep 

Beneath your charms

While counting sheep.

Even when I write

My love as day

Fades in to night,

I know you’ll never feel the way

That I have felt tonight. 

Can’t you see, can’t you feel

A cut from you will never heal?



Can’t you see me

And you-together

Sitting by the sea?

A blue sky-fair weather

Wouldn’t we be free? 

But it can’t be this way

For as the days go,

I know you won’t stay.

And I’ll cry

As you walk away.

Why can’t you see?

Why can’t you see?
