71

Did you know her?
Did you love her?
Did you think she was the best?

Did you need her?
Did you want her?
God, why did you protest
to the layers of her soul
that she laid out for you 
on the floor
as the shambles of her being 
came falling 
down 
down
down

Did you hear her?
Did you see her?
Did you know that she was there?

Did you miss her?
Could you feel her,
when she was disappeared into thin air?
When she had run for the mountains
she had chased the winters home
she had climbed the pyres 
just to finally 
be alone.

And you didn't even notice
no, you didn't even care 
you looked on for someone's shadow 
that was lost
flying through the air
it wasn't even her shape
it wasn't even true 
it was a glimmer 
of an idea
known only to you

Did you want her?
Did you get her?
Did you realize she was real?

Did you understand 
or even try 
to see 
how did she feel?

Was it a nice idea?
the one you formed 
of her in your head
was she everything you wanted
while someone else lied 
in your bed
God, just admit it
go ahead.
