I observe you

I observe you- falling apart
That fire that once graced your eyes fading away
Wondering what they've done to your fragile heart
As sadness is now your bay,
Your eyes show me wrath
Hope you don't think of Death.

I observe you struggle
crawling in a dark; misty; swampy jungle
as it engulfs you and helplessly you tremble.

I observe you- dressing yourself with shame 
and accepting the hounds of defeat
Hope- was once your name
but now you can't stand with your feet,
Mellifluously you sang but now you cry
I am only an observer- not a spy.

I observe you and stretch my hand
but you seem to be at a distant land
making us a dysfunctional strand.

You may see the world thru my words. You may see yourself thru my words. But mostly you may assume my poetry is about me. If a line kicks off the edge, imagine what a poem would do.
