Do you see me?

When you lay down at the end of another day
do the silence have a voice
whispering in your ear?
Can you hear me screaming, crying, begging?
Or do you hear nothing,
not sparing one thought to me.
Why can't you hear me?
Why can't you hear me...

When you get up in to the light of a new day,
what do you see?
Do you even see me?
I'm hiding all this pain behind a
pretense of normalcy.
Or do you just start rushing around.
Seems you're needed everywhere.
Everywhere but here with me.
I'm not invisible, why can't you see me?

When you spend all your time with others
talking about things near to your heart for hours,
what do you think?
Do you even care about me?
Did a thought of me ever cross your perfect mind.
While I spend my time alone,
my mind and heart consumed by only you.
Why can't you see me?

When you go about your life
what do you think, what do you feel?
Don't you see what you do to me when I'm always the last to know?
Always invited as an afterthought.
I try and talk to you,
try to make you see me,
but I trip over my own words.
Can't you feel how lonely I am?
I'm lonely without you.
Don't you miss me too?

When you answer me in short cold clipped sentences
what do you think about me?
You're so god damn polite and  unmoved
can't you see me falling apart, my heart breaking every day
how can you not see how lost I am
I am wallowing in sorrow
I pretend I don't care, that it doesn't hurt
but it is all I can think about.
Do you hear me?
Do you see me?
I am here right in front of you
and I am lost...
