Am I here now?
Really?
Can they see me
And they ignore?
Or do they
Simply not notice?

When you look at me
Straight in the eye
But talk to someone else,
I feel hollow:
Oh so small.

Like a small kid,
Who is silenced when screams
And ignored when speaks.
Like a little bug,
Small and insignificant.

Am I here?
Really?
Then why don't you talk to me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why can't you smile
That stupid iridescent smile
And give me the time of day?

Am I here?
What does it matter?
I see you,
I see you smile.
Not at me,
Not anymore.
Not a word,
Not a glance.

I guess
This infatuation must soon wither
And strangers we'll become.
Once again
Just like before.
No hi,
No bye,
No smile,
No lies.
