The Invisible Girl

I am the invisible girl

You don't know my name

Although you've heard it

So many times

Everyday you pass by

Unaware of my stare

I am the invisible girl

Noise

I hate the quiet

Silence is an enemy

Solitude is feared

Pain fills empty spaces

Distractions bring relief

I hate the quiet

So many things to think about

When the noise disappears

Rewind

I would like to move backwards

To a time when I knew

What I wanted

Rewind, rewind
Watch me
Move backwards through time

A place where I felt safe
And things made sense
Oblivious and free
That was how it used to be

Rewind, rewind

Watch me

Move backwards through time

Time

Seconds passing slow

Heart beating fast

Feet shuffling

Glances at a hand

Frustration bubbling

Tears starting to burn

People murmuring

Words that aren’t heard

Love

Quiet contentment

Is how I want love to be

If it should ever

happen to me

Halfway

Irrational thoughts upon a page

Deleted before you could see
How much you mean to me
Six weeks to the day
Not sure that we are okay
But when I see you walk through the door
I’m happier than before

Sometimes... home feels like you
