I find you
In the shower
Head arched
Eyes closed
Standing firm
Allowing the water
Wash off your stress.
I find you
Eyes staring into
The TV
But not watching anything.
I find you absorbed
In your work
Attempting to find
An escape from the thoughts
That keeps haunting you.
I find you
Hushed and lackadaisical
And I wish to
Make you smile
Absolve you
From the burden
To make you
Experience life again.
I find you
Going through the anguish
But not much that I can do
Except wait for the tide
To pass.
I find you
And I see in your eyes
Myself
Experiencing everything
That you are.
I see that
I am you
And you are me.
