Simple words just don't say it
Which one of us puts up the wall,
is it me or you?
Did I do something very wrong?
Just tell me what to do.
You act as if it's all okay,
but do you care either way?
I thought that we were friends,
if I knew what I was doing wrong,
I'd gladly make amends.
But then your tone is harsh,
you shun me far away.
Am I just a playmate?
I question everyday.
We used to be so close,
now we're near and yet so far.
Now you've got me thinking,
is this what friends really are?
A person I used to trust,
now inside I run away.
My world of colours,
has turned dull and boring grey.
You used to be the spark,
that lit up every day.
Now I can't tell which,
of us has gone astray.
I treasure your presence dearly,
but I don't know if I'm the same.
Because now I think
you see me as boring and just lame.
A burden at your heels,
that is what I seem to be.
I am the invisible dog,
that you never seem to see.
Just tagging right behind,
I am always there.
But in your perfection,
I am hidden in your flair.
You are the apple of everyone's eye,
the goal they set above.
You are the friend,
I grew to know and love.
But then I felt unneeded,
for you already seemed so whole.
Sometimes i really think,
I should just become a mole.
To be out of your way,
and out of your sight.
That way I'd not have to bother you,
in the cover of the night.
I miss being a counterpart,
an actual human to say the least.
To be able to talk freely,
and not chained up like a beast.
At every word and phrase,
I'm scared that I'll offend.
The one we view so highly,
the one I called a friend.
I feel like I am crumbling,
I am just a wreck.
She stands in the limelight,
always ever perfect.
I know I've heard of invisibility,
and feeling down and so low.
But I never thought,
that that was where I'd go.
I feel so awkward,
far-off and left alone.
Now when we talk,
it's a one-sided phone.
I wish that it would change,
to how it used to be.
So that we could talk,
And I could just be me.
