Silent Watcher

Silent Watcher

I see you there.

I see your smile as you stand up to go to the door.

I see you get up and walk away and open the door with a smile.

I hear you talk and begin to cry.

I wonder why and come closer.

I stop and stare and call to you to say I care.

I don't know why you start to cry.

But I watch you walk out the door.

You see right through me like I'm not there but I just run after you and continue to stare.

I feel alone and want to comfort you as I see you enter your car.

I stand in front shouting at you, watching each tear drop.

You begin to drive.

I move aside.

But run after you as you leave.

I run round a corner, still sprinting behind.

And I see you stop on the line.

I scream as if in pain and try to reach you as the lights above flash red and orange.

I scream, I shout and let it all out.

But my effort had no effect.

I see the train.

I see you cry in pain.

As people around try to help.

The people gasp, scream and shout.

As the train etches closer and closer.

I feel your pain and call for help.

But no one heard my cries.

The train hits.

You car flies by and the train just keeps going.

It's as if the train driver didn't notice the car sitting in front.

I run across the line as the barriers go up.

And I see you walk away.

I see you sad and turn around.

To see why this was a sad day.

I see the news on a big screen.

And see why you may have taken such a risk.

I love you my love.

My sweet heart.

My darling.

And I'm sorry I didn't understand.

I watch the news and see the report of one man killed.

A man who died saving a life.

A man by the name of Jacob Phoenix.

I see her cry.

The pain go down her face as each tear reaches the floor.

I want to help to touch her again.

But I can't seem to reach her.

She turns around and sees my face and smiles her sweet smile.

But then I fade to the other world.

I love you my love forever.

Do not mourn for long.

Live long and have fun.

Don't just cry and waste your life.

We will be together again.

One day in the future.

And I will wait till then.

Lots of love

Jacob P. xXx
