Invisible

Morning!

I wrote a poem at the weekend that turned into a song...the thing is...its quite personal...and I just keep singing it in my head...maybe if I appeal once again, a nice musician will stop by and add some music?! Even if they don't I will work towards getting some music for it, even if it requires me learning an instrument of some sort...I hope you like it. I see it as very much a ballad/love song full of love, angst and hope. Comments welcome but please be gentle.

I used to wake up almost everyday

thinking if there could be some other way

that I could make you notice me

standing by your side

You made me think that it was me and wonder if you would ever see

that I never really wanted to be

invisible.

But it’s just one of those days,

when whatever I say

Is lost in the atmosphere,

Never reaching to your ears

Flying off to outer space

being heard in some other place

I might as well be talking to myself

I might as well be talking to myself

Every day that passed

Was just another strain on my heart

Always feeling lonely even when we were together

Watching everyone be seen by you

as you heard everything they said

I never wanted to be

invisible

But it’s just one of those days,

when whatever I say

Is lost in the atmosphere

Never reaching to your ears,

Flying off to outer space,

being heard in some other place.

I might as well be talking to myself

I might as well be talking to myself

I had nothing left to give and there was no solution I hadn’t tried

But I couldn’t save us on my own and didn’t want to have to

I’ll hold the memories tight

All the times we, all the words we,
and all the happiness there had been

I’ll forget the loneliness, the fights and the tears,

I’ll leave you with a clean slate but know

I never wanted to be

invisible

But it’s just one of those days,

when whatever I say

Is lost in the atmosphere

Never reaching to your ears,

Flying off to outer space,

being heard in some other place.

I might as well be talking to myself

I might as well be talking to myself

If I ever fall in love again,

It won’t ever be the same

I’ll be heard above the noise

I will always have a choice

I never want to be invisible again.

NB: I do think that if I make this into a song then obviously some tweaks might need to be made without losing the essence.
