Invisibility

I know that I am here
Screaming in your ear

I know that you feel my presence
Yet you seem to have turned off your senses

I feel the way that you reject me
And the way that you cast me back out to sea

I stare in your eyes
But you only see her disguise

You listen to the thoughts of another
You listen to the sounds of your ideal lover

You ignore my fright
I know that I have
disappeared from your sight

I care more than you will ever know
But this is one thing that I shall never show

My love for you is hidden
And seems in a way, to be forbidden

You will never see how much I have tried to let you know
And from hereon, there shall be no more emotional flow

You won't know what you have done
Nor will you ever know how much I wish to shun

I care too much to try to give you away
Yet I know that we shall never be together, not even for a day

I loved you then and I love you still
I shall forever hide this within me with somewhat of a thrill

Trying to cover my feelings will be torture
But as long as you are happy than I shall live happily forever more.
