Tangles of the Mind

a girl made of a transparent shell

do you even see me anymore?

can you feel my heart clenching, or do you still mistake it for beating for you?

i kiss you, but you don't meet me halfway,

dropping your hand at the sight of those you know, cutting ties to my heart.

you seem to be protecting yourself,

are you ashamed of me?

am i embarrassing to be on your arm, 

am i simply not pretty enough?

am i simply not worth enough?

i won't say anything though, 

i won't speak a word in fear of paining or smashing you apart.

breaking like a windowpane;

shards of misunderstanding.

i love you too much,

so i'll stay silent.

i'll stay invisible,

i'll stay the girl with the transparent shell.
