Apology

sometimes I stop seeing,
I miss you;
I stretch out with my eyes,
neglecting my mind,
ignoring my heart;

I lose sight of your demons -
your drivers and insecurities -
the whips they thrash at your back

I fall for your mask,
forgetting your better angels -
the face you hide from the world;

I forget to look beneath,
to see that light -
that beauty -
in your soul;

in my weakest moments,
I forget to see you
