Do you see me
or even know I’m here?
Waiting
My arms open
waiting ~ for your embrace
My heart open
waiting ~ for your kindness
Do you hear me?
My heartbeat louder than rain bouncing on the taut canopy of your umbrella
. . .
I see you
I see you in technicolour
your shimmering light casting everyone into shadow
I see your gaze wash over me
as if I don’t exist
As in your eyes I don’t exist
. . .
I never did
To you I’ve always been invisible
