I couldn't sleep last night
but the reason wasn't you.
The moon was bright tonight
and I know,
it wasn't because of me.
You are standing there
in the glow of the street lights
but I am here
and I am looking at the stars-
I am on another planet.
Your eyes are looking right through me
because I am air
irrelevant
meaningless .
Just away
waking through dark streets
my body is numb,
my thoughts are on fire.
Doesn't matter where,
only away.

-me seeing you and you not seeing me.
