I Look At You

Title: I Look At You
Rating: G.
Summary: Rebecca to Frank.
Warnings: nope.
Date: 1998
Notes: Another double etheree: thanks for the correction, Sara. These things are hard, as is, apparently remembering what they're actually called.


I
look at
you and see
my dreams, my hopes
a man who loves me
just as I am, with no
reservations. But I see
falsely-- I see my dreams and not
reality. You are not my dream,
nor the warm hand I prayed would reach for mine.
You are a dank cave, and I toss in
my hopes and see them swallowed up.
I asked once what you see when
you see me; I know now
why you did not speak.
You do not see
anything
at all.
no.
