WHY??

To you I am invisible, a mere shadow on the wall,
But I have always been there in spite of it all,
You see through me as if I was a window of glass,
I sit alone and wait for my time to pass,
I have bared my very soul so you can hide in its folds,
All I ask in return is to have you to hold,
Of you I demand nothing, yet give more than I own,
I am again destined to fight on alone,
I protect you where I can, make sacrifices for your benefit,
But you do not see, you are oblivious to all of it,
On repeated occasion you have told me what it is that you seek,
Maybe it is I can make your future as bright as your past is bleak,
I would gladly give my soul if it were to protect you from harm,
The thought of you keeps me alive; it is my good luck charm,
But I am nothing to you, at least not in the way that I would like,
Your rejection hits my heart like a cast iron spike,
I am the soul which could bring you what you desire, for I too wish for the same,
But I am too weak; I have no place to even recite your name,
The characteristics in men which you have told me you desire,
I have them all, but again I am not good enough, you deserve something higher,
I am not sufficient, I know that now but it is something I cannot accept,
I cannot forget, after all my heart is still in your debt,
But these are merely the thoughts of a damaged individual, one not worthy of such desires,
Every time I am with you I feel you tighten the wire,
Twisting against my skin, taunting my thoughts and dreams,
I am happy you cannot see my tears and that you will never hear my screams,
I could not wish that upon you, I could not burden you with myself,
All I can do is ensure you are happy, regardless of what it does to my own health,
I am sentenced to live in your shadow, pondering what could've been,
To remain a shoulder to cry on and never to be seen,
I know that this may not be how you feel, that you may have other reasons,
But my love and care for you has been as obvious as the four seasons,
My feelings I will bury once more to close the cage and lock the door,
You will not see them again, but everyday they haunt me, doubling the pain,
I am yours, but yet you cannot see,
That the one you seek resides in me.

Wow! Such a beautiful, albeit sad write. Best of luck, I sincerely hope everything works out for you. Have you shown her this poem by any chance, perhaps you should if not.

This is very sad.
I know it is hard to watch someone ignore you in the ways that you wish to be seen, and you have shown it well in this write.
I think there are many people who can relate to this write, and the feeling behind it.
I hope it is better for you soon.
Well done.
Good write,
