I am standing at your side,
But you don't see me.
Am I a ghost to you?
Do I even exist in your eyes?
I used to dance in your iris,
Fill your sight like the ocean.
Now I am barely a droplet
Just clinging on to you.
You don't bother to look for me
But when I enter the vision of another
For a heartbeat I am the ocean again
Before I fade out to a droplet once more.
Don't you see me there?
Don't you see me at your side?
My mind trying to enter yours
So you could hear my cries.
Why do I stay in your shadow?
You blot out my sun,
Make my world cold.
Bringing darkness only.
I try to step away
Into the sunlight again
But that's when you see me
When I am far away.
I want to be that ocean,
Swallow up your heart and soul.
But that is not what I am.
I am the wind; wild and free.
