Invisible

You look my way,
But your eyes bore through.
Why don't you see me?
I'm invisible to you.

I call your name,
But you don't hear a sound.
In anguish and helplessness,
I fall to the ground.

You don't notice
As I lie broken on the floor.
I'm not even there,
You don't see me anymore.

I scream for you again,
But nothing comes out.
You continue what you're doing,
Not hearing me shout.

I try to get up,
But my legs are too weak.
I need your help,
But I can't speak.

My heart cries out;
There's nothing I can do.
My very worst fear,
Has seemed to come true.

I reach for your hand,
Trying to hold my anger within.
I grasp it tight,
But you don't feel my skin.

I silently beg you
To feel the touch of my skin.
But just as I expected,
Nothing would happen.

I let go, it's no use,
I might as well not even try.
I scream out again,
Tears falling as I cry.

I drag myself away,
Far across the room.
Wishing with all my heart
That I would die soon.

I reach for the knife
That lies on the floor.
With a body-wracking sobs,
I look up at you once more.

I place the blade at my wrist,
Roughly cutting my skin.
I watch until I see a puddle
Of blood rushing from within.

Tears fall as I look up at you,
Grasping the bloody knife,
Then I say "I love you,"
Before I take my life.

I lie lifeless on the floor,
Blood still dripping and my lips blue.
But you walk right past...
I'm still invisible to you.
