Dispensable

Jul 06, 2005 23:36

I am made of flesh and bone
And of wasted emotion,
Nothing more.
Nothing of interest to someone
As extraordinary as yourself.

I am transparent,
Entirely dispensable.
I feign a smile
With each blow dealt
Upon this counterfeit heart.

Notice me!
Can’t you see me?
I’m invisible!
Made of expendable flesh
And imaginary bone!

Behind this Cheshire grin,
My wasted eyes weep.
Do I have to disappear
Just to show you
That I feel invisible?

Hmmm... I haven't written poetry in a while... It feels kinda nice.
