invisible

I wonder if they notice me

for the person I came to be

or am I just invisible

the wallflower that no one sees

does my inner light catch their eyes

is my aura a grand prize

I try to entice them with charms

but they never fall for my lines

I’m a shadow in the moonlight

out of their minds, out of sight

I will linger here in the dark

until this lonely soul takes flight

to love, to lose

I was the anchor and you were the sea

somehow love blossomed between you and me

kept each other from drowning in sadness

if only this life could be so carefree

in early times we chased the sun and moon

wrote love songs to the stars that made them swoon

but other things hovered in shadows deep

we soon found ourselves lost in the monsoon

my anchor not strong enough to hold you

I watched you drift away into sea’s blues

in daydreams I meet you under moonlight

where we share kisses, sweet as morning dew
