Standing There

Even though I’m just nobody to you,

I’m not invisible.

I know you could see me with your eyes.

I’m not stupid.

Still, even though you treat me like dirt,

I will still be standing there.

Loving you, caring for you.

Standing there,

All alone.

With no one to hold me.

With no one sparing me a word.

Sharp glances sent my way.

I don’t even know what I did wrong.

All I did was love you.

Standing there,

All alone.

With no one to call my friend.

It’s crazy how I can hold on.

I hold on to an ember of flame I have for you.

Standing there,

I still love you.

I still care.

Just a glance, for me, will you spare?
