You Don’t See Me

a flicker
	in the corner of your eye
the thinning air
	is too thick a disguise

i shed the cloak of invisibility
but there's no hope
because you don't see me

a whisper
	in the funnel of your ear
my brightest colour
	is through your eyes still clear

i played the cards of possibility
and lost my heart
because you don't see me

a shiver
	on the mountains of your spine
a shadow's death
	makes its silhouette hard to find

i shed the cloak of invisibility
but there's no hope
because you don't see me
