Sometimes, my mind wanders far, far away
To a world where I am wanted, and loved every day.
I know that it's not real and I really shouldn't go there
But it's all that I can do when the pain is too much to bear.
I hear your whispered words,
I know exactly what you think of me.
And yes, it really hurts
The pain you cause you cannot see.
If I were to disappear, out of your life and out of here,
Would you miss me then, or am I as invisible as the air?
I look at you and muster up the courage to smile
I'd wonder later if the action really was worth the while.
I'd bite my lips and blink my moist eyes, the pain wouldn't kill me.
I will never let you see the true extent of the damage you've done to me.
