You can easily find me standing anywhere, looking at the horizon beyond your eyes, yet you don't realize.
You pass by my side, I look at you and pretend to be a better man, yet you don't realize.
I walk behind you, waiting for a simple glance, I am there, my arms are open, you're all welcome in my heart, yet you don't realize.
My presence is heavy, you can look at me from miles away, my eyes shine when they look at yours, yet you don't realize.
I am the one who tries to reach your heart when others touch your body with lust, when you're silent I'm the only one hearing you, yet you don't realize.
Your clothes, bags, money, secrets and even yourself are safe with me, I'm still standing for the protection of your integrity, yet you don't realize.
I know why your deception hurts you to the level of no further attempts or why don't you have a dream, and I want to give you one, yet you don't realize.
Your laughter makes me smile, your tears only feed my madness, but in the end, we still suffer emotions from this life, and my back is pulled down because I hold the backpack of yours, yet you don't realize.
My clothes are wet, my hair is rainy, your tears are the water I feel over my body every single day, and I accept them with a smile, yet you don't realize.
I am the knife who slits your throat and wrists, but you tend to forget your veins won't recover so easily and I'm losing my edge, both due to our grief, yet you don't realize.
Someday we both will die, together or not. Will you realize at that moment?

Nice write... I really like this line>> 'when you're silent I'm the only one hearing you'
-

-

This is beautiful. You have a lot of talent ^^

unknown..
I will assume, rightful or not, that this someone that you are friends with or at least know from a distance... It is very very painful to want and not receive especially when hearts are involved. Your description of your condition is deteriorating throughout the poem which I think is a nice touch...well done there. Would like to know why you chose the metaphor you did in the 2nd and 3rd to the last lines...not trying to be picky, just curious.
The ending on the other hand is very nice; poigniant and with cruel self justification. A very nice poem in its whole! Bravo

I know how you feel, the angst is so powerful in this poem it's so close to something I've been going through for years and it always seems to be the same story just a different person telling it good job and good luck

somebody's presence can inspire amazing things, like for example this poem.
