I Saw It

[ScarletMornings]

I saw it when you looked at me,
The way the light was doused.
I saw it when you growled at me,
The way your anger was aroused.

I saw it in your smile
The lie you couldn’t hide.
I saw it in your soul,
When I really looked inside.

I saw it in your face,
The tightening of the skin,
I saw it in your hands,
Clenched so I couldn’t win.

I saw it in your eyes,
That couldn’t quite meet mine.
I saw it in your mouth,
Bracketed by angry lines.

I saw it in your voice,
The edge painstakingly concealed.
I saw it in your touch,
The indifference far too real.

I saw it in your walk,
The haste to get away.
I saw it in your restraint,
Almost said what you didn’t want to say.

I saw it in your laugh,
Forced almost to exhaustion.
I saw it in your words,
Uttered in extreme caution.

I saw it in your mirror,
The hope to leave me there.
I saw it in your joy,
When you walked away down the stairs.

I saw it in the empty house,
Echoed with the proof.
I saw it in your pretty woman,
With eyes the color of truth.

I saw it when I looked at me,
The life gone, nothing there.
You saw it when you looked at me,
I love you, too bad you just now cared.
