You Can't

You cant see me but I'm here
you cant hear me because I'm silent
You cant touch me but I still feel
you cant hate me but I can
You can read me but you cant understand
you can reach out but cant quite reach me
You cant possibly know but you certainly can speculate
you can dance on my grave but you cannot kill me
You can throw your punches but you cannot hurt me
you can bring me down but you cannot keep me there
You cant believe me because I lie
you can lie because I cant ever believe you
You can leave me but you cant be rid of me
Wherever you go I will be
I will be in your heart
In your thoughts
In every billboard
Every flower
Every lover past or future
Everything you say or think or do I will be a part
I made you
You cant escape
You cant evade the voice that strikes your heart
You cannot distance yourself from me
I am inside you, you cant exorcise me
I am not your demon
I am not yours ever
You cant see me but I'm still here
You cant hear me because I'm silent
Yet your memories are not
You cant see

I thought it's very emotional and evocative, so full of sorrow, told in a despondent and vindictive way-- or at least that's how I experienced it.
It's like riddle to which the answer can be a million things, or a million other people.

First reviewer. I honestly don't know what to think of this. I definitely enjoyed it. It is thought provoking the way that will have me going for a while. I think this is excellently written and perfect for the modern questioner of perception, thought and what can or can't be done. The line: "You cant possibly know but you certainly can speculate" totally caught me. Great work! Write on.
