I Am Invisible

A long time ago,

we knew each other.

We knew each other's secrets and fears

and told each other everything.

We were in love and you were

always there when I needed someone to talk to,

Or to hold me when I cried.

But now…

Now you don't even see me,

and it's like a knife through the heart

every time you walk past me.

You told me once

that you choose not to see me.

But that is what I do not understand.

Why do you see right through me

when I am standing right in front of you?
