So many beautiful faces pass me by
Different every one
All too lovely not to catch my eye
But no-one sees me, none
See my eyes follow them
Admiring
Yet shying away at a glance
All this cowardice is tiring
To the soul
It breaks me down
Am I invisible to those I wish to see
Do I wear the crown?
For my head lies uneasy
Knowing I am unnoticed by those
I wish to love
To keep close
Unnoticed
I am but a speck of dust
"That other guy"
I am anonymous
Another sparkle in your eye
My fantasy remains
A shallow echo of what could be
A faint whisper
A part of me
I am unloved
I am unseen
I seek what I cannot find
No longer an innocent teen
I must find out what loneliness holds
I must become familiar with its solemn embrace
To shield my sorrow
To save face
I must protect my fragile heart
From ever feeling
What I can only imagine is worse
Than the loneliness I am wielding
