A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 02/23/1996
Do I exist to you beyond what you need from me?
Am I invisible in your thoughts and eyes?
Do you see my beauty that comes from inside me?
Do you only see the mere image of my outer beauty?
An outer beauty that doesn't touch the surface of how beautiful I am inside.
Are you so blind that you cannot appreciate me for more than my soft words and skin, which only feel good to you?
Do you feel the depths of my need for the same kind of love, I love you with?
Are you human too?
Or are you a plastic mechanical man that is so cold like ice, from your fear of feeling me close in fear of me abandoning you?
Are you afraid?
Do you refuse to give me what you think in your imagination that I am refusing you?
Are you afraid to ask in fear of rejection, or fear that you might not want after all what you ask for?
Are you alive?
Or do you need to live alone?
Only to prove to yourself that you can stand alone, in fear that someone might find out that you need me in your life to create more life and love.
