You do not see me as I stand there,
There is no affection you do not care,
Oblivious to the presence that yearns to be seen,
And I wonder about how things could have been.
I give you support when you're struggling through,
And I'm there to help when you don't know what to do,
I put your feelings first above my own,
And I listen to your worries and never moan.
My feelings get trampled and cast aside,
And many a night I've sat and cried,
You have no empathy towards my plight,
And I'm slowly giving up the will to fight.
You don't think about me when we're apart,
And you don't care that you've broken my heart,
You don't even realise the extent of my pain,
As you slowly pour my love down the drain.
My love isn't blind but I don't want to see,
That you give nothing back to me,
I know in my heart I wouldn't be missed,
To you I am ghost, I don't exist.
