Invisible

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MSU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

I cry your name, 

I bang your chest, 

my eyes study you 

and I fail the rest 

arms length apart 

disconnected spark. 

Maybe in another universe 

I could taste the desire blazing from your lips 

or in a different dimension 

where I could finally breathe in my dreams 

where I could be yours, and you could be mine.

Bouncing red lights,

you’re on the spotlight;

everyone has their eyes on you. 

In the twilight, maybe you’re mine 

under the presence of the moon 

who told me to chase you 

‘til I lose my mind,

face you ‘til I see a light in your eyes, 

to feed me chances, that I could believe 

you might’ve reciprocated these feelings for me.

We’re in opposite spectrums, 

two sides with one direction,

with no physical attention

I plead and beg for a connection.

You’re dancing on your own

and I sit here all alone. 

I’m stuck being invisible to someone like you.
