Invisible

a credit card

a car to run around in

clean clothes to borrow

someone to pick up dinner

I'm in the shadows

does anyone notice?

Beg plead borrow promise

no one listens

no one helps

I'm right in front of you 

but you look right on thru

Food bought for me 

disappears

and they wonder why 

I'm not happy

take my clothes

even those never worn

don't bring them back

that would mean you notice

I'm tired so tired

of being invisible

not counting

not worth the effort

day in day out

they all feel the same

You make me feel visible

is it any wonder

I love you?

Loneliness

I read your last email today.
Not sure why but it made me sad.
Nothing has changed except my feelings.

I want to curl up beside you
use your heat to stay warm
listen to our hearts beat
watch the sun rise

you'll get up at dawn
just as I fall asleep
were we ever in sync?

time moves slowly
between times together
hope dims
dreams die

I wonder where it went

dreams

you speak to me thru music
songs making their way into my heart
notes floating overhead into the sky

not all tell your feelings
so i pick and choose
the message of my dream

silence falls between
deepening the distance
of our worlds

i fight the despair that threatens
time is fleeting and i worry
our paths will only cross

whisper it to me
bring it to me
come find me
stay with me
wake me
make it real
