Tell Me

Have you seen this man?
With eyes that smile,
And a touch of unique love
Soothing through large hands

Have you seen this soul?
Everything to me, capable
Open and real, even if it hurt
A mind revealed and unkempt

Have you seen that body?
Thin and familiar to my hands
Skin low valley and ridge bones
Once respected and cherished

The man is missing.
Everything in me, the rich fulfillment
So-called happiness momentary
Turned away and heartless cold

The soul is broken.
Used and untrue cheating
Itself and others, no one answer
Lost is the only suggestion given

The body is no more.
Gone from my eyes, wasted
Banished and shameful,
At what cost, everything it had
