Reborn (for her)

i watch you suffer
through good times and bad
i watch you withdraw
into a self-made shell
i watch you loose yourself
the recognition; it fades
i watch your eyes drift
fixing on nothing and everything
i confess my love for you
and i see a spark, some life
i watch you become yourself
the rebirth of a flower
it happens so slowly
your leaves spreading to receive my warmth
your shell, it crumbles
and you re-emerge into daylight
we watch eachother
through good times and bad...
