With every chance I take,
My ignorance of you I fake,
They say to be seen,
One must remain un-keen,

And so every day I dote upon you in silence,
And you to my theory I only receive defiance,

Am I so transparent?
That you see through these ways,
Is it my make believe so apparent,
That your mind never in my direction sways,

Or is that I blend in,
And my ignorance of you,
Just wears my invisibility even more thin,
I remain known and never noticed as new,

I remain here,
But I remain the quiet ******* her own,
I remain visible to those who’ve chosen me dear,
But as your company I leave you as alone,

Am I so see through and so blurred?
So Unnoticeable and just not there?
am I just never heard?
Or is it that you just don’t care.

Is that I am nothing more?
As that quiet girl you’ll never adore,
Is it that I’m nothing less?
Just that girl below your best,

Is it that I am only me?
Nothing else to dote,
And nothing more to see,
Is that your name I can’t promote?

I blame my tongue,
My heart so stung,
But more I blame is you,
Because there’s only so much one can do.
