In my mind, I can see you with him.
I understand you’re gone.

My head sees how it is,
But my heart has questions…

Does he hold you when you’re scared,
Or do you shiver alone?

Does he make the demons in your head go away,
Or do you fight them by yourself?

Does he wipe away your tears with his thumb, and dry them with a kiss?
Or do they fall to the floor?

Does he tell you how pretty you are, only when he needs you physically,
Or has he remembered to tell you, when you are just sitting there, looking beautiful.

Does he put you back together, when you are broken,
Or do you lose more pieces every time you break?

Does he make you smile, just to see how it lights up the room,
Or has that glow faded?

Does he make you tingle when he runs his fingers on your back,
Or is there numbness in its place?

Does he look, not just into your eyes, but into your soul,
Or is it only the outside he sees?

Does he pull you close, just to feel your warmth,
Or do you feel the chill in the air?

Does he kiss you lightly on your forehead as you sleep,
Or doesn’t he see the angel in you?

Does he thank God for you,
Or is your gift lost on him?

Does he love you,
Or was that just me?
