Dakota

 

Dakota, I see you

Your guy was sour

Every word that he spoke

Saltier by the hour

 

He killed your night

Even the rum didn't feel quite right

You are embarrassed and hurt 

Constantly treated like dirt

 

Dakota, I see you

Sitting on the couch controlling the tears

Whiles the couple next to you make out

See me too, look at me look at you

 

I can soften the pain

Never let you feel this way again

Just see passed the past

Notice me at last 

 

I want to hold you as you scream and cry

Tell me how you wish all the ways he could die

Pick you up and fix you good

Be the support that you misunderstood

 

Dakota, I see you

Avoiding the guy trying to get between your legs

Predator praying on the girl whose hearts just bled

I can fend off these fiends and take you home 

 

Dakota, I see you 

Do you see me too

observing ones hurt and wanting to help .nice its good work

[ms. barrie]

a very poignant write, captivating imagery of truly seeing someone's soul rather than physical appearance, and unfortunate circumstances life has thrown at her. amazing execution...and i enjoyed the lyrical fluidity your pen incorporated into this.
@ Sir jacob: i believe i remember that song!
thank you for sharing, kee :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the speaker sees her for much more than her physical attributes...he sees within her heart and soul...and is there to really love her...if only she could see.

reminds me of an old andy kim song...

"look at you baby, look at me"

[KeeD]

I'm not familiar with the song so off to youtube I go :D , this is a cool review, thanks jacob!
