Invisible

I remained invisible to you

You were always seeing through

Never giving me the time

To find myself.

I became another burden

Another wasted dream

Thrown on the shelf.

Now, I've lost my self esteem

Your words are like hot steam,

Cascading from my dreams

Telling me not to believe

in myself.

The emptiness of your hardened heart

Is pulling us now, further apart

And I become a miserable ghost

Of the woman you used to know.

You continue to make me feel so low

And I can't stand feeling this way

Feeling like I am nothing to you

Feeling like waking up every day

Is the most difficult task

Because you never think to ask

How I'm feeling

How I'm dealing

If you only knew

Maybe we'd start healing.

But the thing is,

I remain invisible to you

My emotions, my feelings,

Mean nothing to you

Emptiness is vast

When you're not even something

anymore, to the person you

once so admired, adored.

It hurts to feel invisible,

like my dreams don't matter

like I'll never find my

"Happily ever after".

There is no after,

There is no more

It's more hurtful

To be invisible

Than ever before

I wish that you did see

How broken you've made me

The pain, the suffering, my

One last plea.

Will you ever see?

Will you ever see me?
