You saw me
Cthylla 2002 (Joburg)
Am I a silhouette? So naked to your eyes.
Did my presence become your memory?
Ever watching yet not to be seen.
Did a whisper shatter your thoughts,
Did I break through them?
Am I a mirror with a fading reflection,
Or water ever so still.
Am I footsteps with no impression?
See not through me now.
You watched me fade
You watched me
You watched
You.
