Tonight I Will Write The Saddest Lines

I think about the smile and

how someone else has fallen for it

as you smile it at every living being.

Those gentle eyes that look at me even though I want to be invisible.

I write the saddest lines tonight

wishing to be at your side

but you deny these feelings.

Too bad they have nowhere to go.

These feelings without a home.

These memories I'll make unknown.

It's time to let go.

I say this over and over

trying to convince myself of

my falsity but there is 

no success in my attempts

for I have fallen too deep to

dig my way out.

I write the saddest lines as

I hold on to your existence

like I'm gasping for air.

Yet you never even acknowledged mine.

Tonight I write the saddest lines

as I bury myself in emptiness

and make nothing of my myself.

Leaving you okay while I waste away.

Goodnight.
