Being Seen
I want to see you.
With all my heart, I want to see you,
But I’m not at my best right now.
I want you to see me,
With my hair and make-up done just right,
Wearing a tarty summer skirt,
At a lovely little table for two.
But I do not have the strength to leave the house.
I have worn this outfit for three days.
I panic at the thought of taking a shower.
But, oh, how I want to see you.
Will you come to me?
