Oblivious

Standing there,
You look right through me.
You're staring so hard
And yet you still don't see.

You look at my face
And see the tears in my eyes.
You ask how I'm doing
Not knowing I'm about to die.

Walking by me,
You encourage a smile.
You don't seem to understand,
I haven't been happy in a while.

I put my head down
And you say I must be getting flu.
I don't think I have ever met
Someone as oblivious as you.

I'm sad, God damn it,
Why can you not see?
I'm dying inside
And no one knows it but me.

You're oblivious
To all that isn't you.
I wonder, if this was your pain,
What would you do?

But it isn't your pain â??
It's mine I have to live with,
And down this river of gloom
On a boat of tears I drift.

One day I hope
That you will see,
That my life was full of nothing
But pain and misery.

You could've saved me,
I just want you to know,
But don't bother trying now,
I'd rather you just go.

Remain oblivious
In your own little world.
I know you never have and never will
Care about this little girl...
