Do you look through me?
Am I invisible?
Screaming for attention
Just letting me be
Notice me, I am right here
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowning in my despair
We are so disconnected
We are meant to be one
You are unaffected
A chain is only so strong
And without me you'd  be gone
My feeling without you is equal to none
I add a little metal
Subtract a little sun
I multiply my sadness
And boom sounds the gun.
Splatters on the page.

I demand you leave
Hackles rise up
Jaw clenched
I cannot breathe

Faces over my shoulder in the reflection
Life
Death
Nothing is  true perfection.
