Enigma Poem by Raven Nightbird

I SEE YOU FROM A DISTANCE;
A PTCTURE FORMS IN MY MIND,
OF WHO YOU ARE.
OR IS IT REALLY
WHO I WANT YOU TO BE?

AS YOU GET CLOSER,
DO REALLY SEE YOU,
OR SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE
THE PERSON I WANT IN MY HEART.

DO I REALLY SEE YOU AT ALL?

WHEN I TALK TO YOU,
DO YOU REALLY HEAR ME?
OR AM I SAYING
WHAT YOU THINK I MEAN,
BECAUSE IT'S WHAT YOU
WANT THAT PERSON
INSIDE YOUR HEART
TO SAY?

DO YOU LISTEN TO MY WORDS,
OR HEAR THEM FROM
A PLACE INSIDE YOUR MIND,
WHERE THEY SAY
WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO?

DO YOU REALLY HEAR ME AT ALL?

IF TIME AND DISTANCE
SEPARATE US,
WILL WE MISS WHAT WAS THERE,
OR WHAT WE IMAGINED IT TO BE?
WERE WE HIDING FROM THE TRUTH,
AND JUST PLAYING GAMES
WITH WHAT ARE HEARTS DESIRED?

WERE WE SEARCHING
FOR SOMETHING
WE ONLY THOUGHT WAS THERE,
BECAUSE IT RESEMBLED
WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR?

OR WERE WE VICTIMS
OF OUR OWN DECEPTIONS?

DID WE REALLY KNOW US AT ALL?
