I Simply Don't Exist

I don't think you could have expressed to me

By your words, actions, or deeds

How dead I really am to you

Finally I get it

It's as if all the intimate feelings we shared

Disappeared in thin air

It's as if the times when things were going good 

Never happened

It's as if my face and body in every picture we've ever taken

Were cut out, I don't exist

It's as if the children we created in love

Were born by an immaculate conception

I don't exist

Finally I get it.

The tears I cry, you won't wipe away

The pain I feel, you wouldn't numb

If my heart would bleed, you wouldn't seal the wound

Cause I ceased to exist to you

It's sad but true

At one point I was your friend

I was your lover

I was your confidant

But time grew us apart 

And I broke your heart

Even a dog is given food when it whines

Even a dog is given water when it pants

But when i knock on your door

I can't cross the threshold

But when I ask for help

I am told not from here

When I seek for understanding

I get no sympathy, not even empathy

I don't exist

So you've moved on

What we had is all gone

But what happened to forgiveness

Don't we need it to get along

Because as fate would have it

We have at least 10 years to go

By then the youngest 
Will become old

I must be lower than a friend

Because they can be heard

I must be lower than a co-worker

Because you can work as a team

I must be lower than a stranger

Because they are given common courtesy

I must be lower than your enemy

Because at least they get a passing glance

Finally i get it, I simply don't exist
