I see him sitting there
alone with his easy thoughts.
Reveling in a silence I can't disturb.
I open my mouth to tell him
but the words wash away on my breath.
Our eyes meet
but his gaze doesn't hold.
It passes through my invisible form
and only sees the shadows I cast.
I turn away,
my heart dripping with unheard blood,
bursting with the sad realization.
He does not know me.
