Cellophane

I hear the world buzzing by,
In silence I rely,
Yet I cry,
For I see with my hearts eyes,

Cellophane should be my name,
Invisible I remain,
Screaming out in vain,

Even invisible he use to see,
Now he is blind to all thats me,
My curse is feeling,

Caring,
Yet I'm all alone,
With cellophane I am home,
We are sharing,

Bearing the pain of loneliness,
Sharing the shame of knowing it,
We're invisible and incompetent,

And so he's blind you see,
But yet he supposedly loves me.
