INVISIBLE; INVINCIBLE

They say love is the best thing that could happen to you, 

They say those butterflies in your stomach will send your heart racing

They told me the burning sensation in the eye of your lover melts your soul
I must admit, I get jealous when I see couples holding hands, 

Kiss themselves in joy being happy like there’s nothing else to worry about 

Yes I admit it gets lonely sometimes being alone 

Especially on days when you need someone to hug you and tell you it’s all okay

They told me I don’t try enough, 

That I see love and let it pass me by

That’s not true though, I see love but I doubt love sees me

It’s like I’m nothing more than nothingness

On the rare occasion I reach out to love, my fingers just achelingly phase through; I am intangible too. 

But you know what? That’s okay because I have seen the other side of love 
The side that leaves scars as visible as tattoos 

Leaves strong people without the will to live 

Broken beyond repair 

Reeking of despair

Screaming at the thought that love was once in the air

Hollow eye sockets drained of tears and laid bare

Dejection, the notable carcass of love! 
So perhaps I’m glad, I’m glad that on nights when cupid gets drunk and decides to play, 

His arrows somehow always manage to miss me

So I think I’ll hold this position a bit longer

I am invisible therefore invincible.
