If I could see behind your smile, <br />Would I see the broken soul inside <br />And stay there with you for a while, <br />Or would that hurt your pride. <br />To see that someone cares for you, <br />To feel that someone wants to be near <br />You, though you don’t think it can be true <br />And stay hidden inside of your walls of fear. <br /> <br />The entire world is in love with you <br />And cherishes the beauty you create, <br />But would you repeat it all if you knew <br />The end that follows this debate <br />And what came out of the way you chose, <br />The way that lead you on to me <br />To where the broken soul inside me rose <br />To be the one you did already see, <br /> <br />When near that old young brook <br />We were sitting, filled by the sounds <br />Of our illusions in the sea, caught by the hook <br />We sent out on his own to bounce <br />And dance on the water’s surface so proud. <br />Everything was full of life on that day <br />Even the reflection of the wandering cloud <br />Which made you laugh, still we could not stay. <br /> <br />October 27,2006<br /><br />Martine Kolber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beloved-artist/
