I Am Not Here

I am here,

I wonder why I'm alone,

I hear a lively conversation,

I see the people I love,

I want to talk too,

I am not here.


I pretend I'm here,

I feel empty,

I touch my chest,

I worry why I feel no beating,

I cry out for help,

I am not here.


I understand I have no heart,

I say nothing,

I dream of love,

I try to ignore it,

I hope I ignore it,

I am not here.
