Oversight (Slightly Revised)

I see what you always wish she'd see I've always seen I'll always see I am what you've always wished she'd be I've always been I'll always be I have what you always want from her It was meant for you It was always me Someday you will know in your heart this is truth And that alone should break you free My soul longs for you My eyes show the proof Too much to bear - no joy, no glee Still wishing, still waiting Hoping soon you'll see me

I like both versions. Not because I am easy to please but that in both versions the pain comes through. If i had to say anything I would not abbreviate. I've should be I Have and I'LL should be I Will. I think there is more power there when expressed that way.

I do like this version better because it has a more subtle flow and the reader doesn't have to dig deep for the message in this poem. Your heart has been torn and I wish he see's too! I often wonder how love starts out so good and turns so bad - it is something I've learned in my life too. blessings, Deni
