Can You See Me?A Poem by JulieNorellI dreamed this one.....It was a nightmare...But it was beautiful.....Can you see me? Can you see me watching you? Can you hear me? Screaming with all my might? I can see you...Standing there....Looking right through me. Right through me everyone looks....No one can see my tears. Nor can they hear my cries. Alone...Alone is what I am...I don't want to be alone. Alone is what I hated to be...When I was alive... Before that man wrapped that rope around my neck.... Before the man with the black gloves and dark hood dropped me from the balcony... SNAP! I heard my own neck snap...I felt no pain...Felt no sense of disembodiment... I only knew that I was dead....And all the while...While I was watching the man.... I hear the angels scream....Scream in pain of loss....They loved me...Just as I loved them... Now I am alone....Just as I was while I watched my body being put into an ambulance... There were no sirens...Only the quiet sense of dread rolled from the ambulance... There was no need for alarm...The little girl with the braids...The little girl in the little white dress was dead...The deed was done...It can’t be undone....Can't be fixed...Only mourned...I watched my friends and family morn for me....Tried to touch and comfort them...But I was dead...And dead cannot talk... So here I sit...Watching you....Turn around. © 2010 JulieNorellAuthor's Note
