Do You See Me? Poem by Pauline Levesque

Do you see me on the other side... a whole human being with my wings glued on by a thread?
My hands held out to you but slapped as if I had committed a terrible transgression.
Do you love my layers, my weaknesses, my strength, my heart....
I tell you and you don't hear, I listen but you don't speak..truth hangs in the air just out of reach, shrouded by the past, by secrets, by what you have become by what you believe.
I feel alone under the veil, your armour is too strong for me to permeate, I am losing you.
We speak in tongues. You here what you want and I hear what I want but no one listens to what the universe whispers.
The purity of love is changing. The angry children want to be heard and damn the rest!
I am sliding down a slippery slope and my wings are pulling away from me...from the pressure. Do you really see me...do I really see you.... we bleed on each other...
and there is no one there to kiss and make it better.
