hands out
with your palms up
burned and bruised
as you're reaching for love
that isn't even there

arms aching
outstretched for so long
years and years
embraced around a lover
who isn't even there

hands near sides
clenched, tensing as you grab for something
ahold of something
another hand
that's not even there

a person
wrapped around your finger
you know every detail about them
yet they don't know
that you're even there

people
walking past
bumping by
they don't even notice
that you're right here

your thoughts
telling you flaws in which you hold
your feelings be tugged at
acting as if your feelings
aren't even there

your fingers
holding the pieces of you together
they loose grip
and you watch them fall
til they disappear
