Invisible

Invisible

I should smile

But I just can't

I know that this

Simply cannot last

And yet...

It stays

Forever in the end

I'm hollow

Empty

Jaded and broken

A relic of something

Lost and unspoken

Forever alone

In these endless nightmares

I try to keep it together

Although I know

That I will fail

And I will fall apart

Like a mirror

Smashed against the sidewalk

I will never reflect anything again

But you know that

Don't you

My friend

You see it in me

As you watch me day by day

How empty I am

A shell

A container

For a soul

That has no heart

Only a muscle that keeps beating

Somehow

I'm invisible

To the world

And to you

When I look in a mirror

I'm never there

So why not smash it

Let the glass shatter

On the hard concrete

Like tiny silver needles

Pricking your feet

Then you can walk on top

Of all the broken glass

It feels empty

Like a skeleton

All I can be

Is bones and flesh

Invisible

And yet... Tangible

Like the wind

Brushing aside wildflowers

Bending them

As I pass by

Never fully touching them

But just enough

To make their petals fall

The sunshine won't touch me anymore

No storm may harm me now

I simply

Exist

To be unseen

By all the tiny flowers

Around me

Even as they rejoice

They leave me behind

To dance together

In their field of sunshine

That I may never grasp

I can only watch

On the sidelines

Invisible

And yet tangible

As I cry
