I am alone in this
You look right at me but still don’t see me
You look through me as if I don’t exist
Yet here I stay
Next to you
Waiting for the day
The day things will change
You don’t listen to me
You say you hear me
But you’re not listening
My words fall short of your attention
Yet I wait because things will change
It won’t always be this way
I confide in you
My fears, my hopes, my dreams
You explain them to me as if I said them wrong
I chase you for your attention
I get excited when you glance my way
My knees still go week at your touch
Yet when I need you
When I lean on you
I find myself falling to the Earth
Because you will not hold me
I wait for your hand to help me up
But the hand does not come
I want to lie on the floor
I want the floor to swallow me whole
I want to disappear into nothingness
Yet I don’t disappear
I stay here
Waiting for you
Crying for you
Dying for you
Praying for you
Hoping for one day
One day you will pick me up
One day you will hold me
I wait for that one day
