Why has my heart grown numb to you?
Why does it feel like it's blocked out?
My mind sees you but it still doesn't.
Having to hear you build that brick wall and never tear it down.
Why has my heart grown numb to you?
This mind of mine is so full of life but this heart of mine won't let it.
I've grown numb the people around me.
I've grown numb to the spirit within me.
My heart is confidently lost and it doesn't feel the need to be found.
It's not hiding.
Captivating my soul only to capture it and keep it as it's prisoner.
When will it stop feeling so numb?
Only the ticking time bomb invisible to the visible holds the answer.
My mind has become invisible to my heart.
Leaving it behind lost wondering why?
Why leave me lost in my thoughts?
Asking this empty cold place
When will you come back?
The questions I would ask this still numb heart.

Roses who cloke the ****
Wilt in the morn aglow
They have sprouted spines
in past despair
Now wane inward
Despite the peace of
Those who pluck thee
thorns ***** thy flesh  
With bitter poison
thy bled with sorrow  
only to keep those afar
Roses stand lone  
With thy veil of ****
hiding behind those who we are not

I am the lightbulb
That burned out last night
But no one sees until morning

I’ll share my love with you
I’ll share my love with you
And if any part of you doubts it
All my love will turn those doubts to lies
Of course, I want you
But the question is do you feel the same way too

And I wonder what you do so great that I can’t stop thinking about you, want you so bad
To the point that it’s driving me crazy, driving me mad
Oh, you see me
You look at me with hope and adoration
You really do see me
You do

Sometimes I just feel so see thru paper thin
Like I’m invisible and I don’t fit in
But when you’re around I’m visible again
Well at least when it’s just us two
I’m not see thru paper thin to you
And for that I’ll share my love with you
And if any part of you doubts it
All my love will turn those doubts to lies
But sometimes I wish you could see straight thru this paper’s thinness
And see that I want you
Just look at the way I look at you
It’s so see thru
See thru

people don't believe when i say i have a superpower,
one that i quite love when i need it but sometimes i hate it when i wish to be noticed,
no one notices me unless i speak to them,
my quiet voice,
a 'sorry' 'excuse me' 'thank you' became a reflex,
like dodging a ball that i so very fear,
i can be invisible rather i wish or not,
its quite a lot,
to explain,
maybe it is a bit lame,
but i'm invisible rather i want to be or not

You've always seen right through me...
It's like
I'm looking into your eyes
    and I see forbidden fruit...         
a forbidden love         
It's like
I'm staring into a mirror
trying so hard          
to look for myself    
but all I see is black.
Like a corpse---            
It's like
I give all I have
In love with you
---Ectoplasm---    
             I give all I am          
To be with you
To let you feel      
  Who I am...
----I am a poltergeist----   
It's like
I'm reaching out
My hands open wide
Extended towards you
      and when              
you look                  
it's like                      
     you don't even see me----
We hug
and it's as if    
you could          
almost just              
pass right through me----
It's like
We love each other...
But it feels like                  
Necrophilia.        
It's like I'm gone...
even if you're looking            
straight into my smile                
my smile I force myself
for you to see                  
it's like you're still looking---                
you can't see me can you?    
forcing a smile
on my face          
day          
by              
day                
do you even know
      that I just smile for you          
because
I'm tired of you
always crying for him        
   night              
    by            
night        
But you can't even
See the smile don't you?
----It's like I'm his ghost----
It's like
I'm a nightmare            
and I'm haunting you                
except I'm right here          
always right in front of you.                        
------always waiting to be noticed.    
always.        
Waiting for you to realize
That love is not a ghost.                    
Love is not a graveyard.                    
Love is not somewhere lost.            
Love is not sealed up in heaven.    
Nor is it burning in the void of hell.
Love is here                              
Love is waiting in front of you                      
always----                                                  
even as you were crying for him                  
    even as you were lying for him
even as you were fighting for him        
even as you were falling for him                        
even as you were breaking over him
even as you were blinded by him                         
even as you were losing him
even as you were mourning for him...    
always----
Even if I'm            
the only love                
you're allowed                  
to love,                                      
you've never                
allowed yourself                
to love me...                              
You've always seen right through me...
We are both alive but when we hold each other it feels like necrophilia---- there is emptiness in your eyes even if I pour all I am to fill you up daily....

All too often
I'm tempted
To fall off the face of the Earth

If not only to see
If I'd leave a mark.
Scarlet Rose Apr 2018
I am the swirls in the steam above your tea cup, the whisper of wind in the tops of trees; I am that high and light laugh that you can never find the source of, that soft tap of feet that always follows you; I am always there but never tangible, always just beyond where your eyes can see even when they look right at me; I hide in plain sight, even when I shout it is a whisper; I am stuck between two worlds, always where you are, and yet a million miles away.
