Standing with my sister,
see you across the room.
You slowly walk up,
looking mesmerized.
I raise my hand to shake yours,
but you raise yours to shake hers.
Gazing in her eyes,
I wave at your face.
But no hands appear,
there is no waving in sight.
Glance down at my feet,
there's nothing but floor.
Stare at the window in horror,
a reflection is projected.
A boy, a sister,
but where have I gone?
I've vanished, disappeared.
I don't exist.
He kisses her,
it should have been me.
Kneeling at his feet,
screaming "LOOK AT ME!"
He doesn't hear a peep,
doesn't feel my grasp.
A voice inside urging,
"Be yourself and you'll appear."
But who am I?
I thought I knew.
Curled up on the floor
screaming "I'm me. Now see me."
But there's no interest in "me."
Only in her.
I thouch my cheek,
feel nothing.
Invisible to them both,
and now to myself.
Dissolving into the air,
slowly and effortlessly.
No one notices I've gone.
