Not a Reflection of You

I see you
You see me
But what do we truly see
The hair across your face
The eyelash on your cheek
Your tongue across your lip
Your eyes scanning me
What do you really see?
Do you see my vulnerability?
Do you see my pain?
My heartache?
My love?
Tell me what you really see
I see a man
Who knows too little of himself
I see a boy
Lost in this big open world
I see a warrior
Willing to protect what is his
What he loves
I see a broken soul
Who needs help picking up his pieces
Can you truly see me
When you can’t even see yourself?
If you can’t truly see yourself
Are you really there?
Have you ever really been there?
