I open my mouth just to speak, but all that comes out is air. You look at me without seeing, but I'm always standing here.
Walk past me without a glance, all I wanted was to matter. Disregard me and how I feel, it makes me all the sadder.
A pretty face that lost her voice, you took what made me complete. Now I'm just a whisper of wind, that can't see her feet.
I tiptoed past you but you didn't notice, tears streaming from my face. Still invisible I pack my bags, and leave this lonely place.
I wanted so badly for you to see me, but more to set my own self free. I knew I could only be whole again, once you instead became invisible to me.
