I wonder if ever
there a man be
who will exist
and yet still see me
i wonder if ever
time will tell
the difference
between heaven and hell
invisible i came
invisible i go
me...did you ever really know?
silence engulfs
a smothering flame
standing still
more than a name
left handed promises
now empty hope
empty spaces
and left alone
i wonder if ever
there a man be
who will exist
and fight for me
pursuit is abandoned
though i'm here
romance is foreign
though i am near
my thoughts are worthless
my dreams, even less
myself, deemed unworthy
as life entreats death
i wonder if
ever  a man be
who joys in me
for being me
craving a space
for my heart to rest
instead, emptiness
fills my breast
speak though i might
no just hold my tongue
and wait for the time
to be over and done
i wonder if ever
a man be who will truly,
fully love... just me
