Was it you?
It couldn’t have been.
It looked like you.
It couldn’t have been.
I didn’t believe it at first.
I went past you so many times,
So many times it must have looked,
Like I was stalking you.
I was shocked,
Frightened, perhaps,
Unwilling to accept what I was seeing.
WHO I was seeing.
I felt instant recognition,
Did you?
I couldn’t tell.
There seemed to be something there,
But you were so far gone,
In some world all your own.
Your eyes were filled,
With insanity.
I remembered that look,
The barest hint of,
Things to come.
I watched you,
Saddened & disgusted,
The desperation flashing like a beacon,
To your empty soul.
What were you seeking?
What did you think you needed?
What happened to you?
Was it you?
Yes, it was.
I wish it hadn’t been.
I brought what I saw back with me,
And now it won’t go away~

"I brought what I saw back with me,

Sounds like baggage to me. And if there's one thing everyone has (in addition to lungs) it's baggage.
