How could anybody know

That you are broken

If nobody can see you

If nobody can see you,

…See that you’re reaching out

If nobody can hear you,

…Hear your pleas for help

….then nobody can save you

And nobody will

Feel your flame go out

Nobody will notice a missing face

Because nobody ever saw you

…Or watched as you faded away

You are a ghost

...in this life

the weeping phantasm

down any given corridor

the glimpse of loneliness

levitating the silverware

and begging

for someone to see you
