Like a breath you took yesterday...
A precious moment not caught,
Taken in, used, exhaled,
Never give me another thought.
I come and go but no one cares,
No more than a fly on the wall.
I wave and smile, as if to air,
Completely invisible to you all.
Unobserved I watch alone,
Aching to be a part,
But with my touch it all turns cold,
Your silence lays heavy on my heart.
A cruel word comes so easily,
No care to the pain I will feel.
I reach out, my hand is slapped,
I cry from the hurt that's so real.
I took my leave from what once was home,
Now a pariah in your midst,
One kind thought? One sweet concern?
For me? They didn't exist.
Was I so different? So violative?
So unworthy of your time?
A prison of silence, my sentence
But I still don't know my crime.
