A Stranger

I don’t know you and you don’t know me

 at least not entirely 

I see you walk with such a grace 

 Not knowing what you hide behind your 

Way too pretty face 

I know you are smart and kind 

Even though I can only look at you from behind

 

Because I don’t think -no I know that I am not worthy of you

Never will be even if you include the person I am turning into

You are the knight in shining armor helping the poor

Looking at me 

down here cleaning my puddle of blood from the floor 

But you aren’t seeing me

Not as me who I am and who I try to be 

You aren’t in love like I want you to be

You aren’t seeing my broken self hanging onto what was never there

and never meant to be 

Instead it seems like you’re seeing right through me


But I don’t care as long as I am able to see you 

From behind 

giving someone else your mesmerizing smile 

with me wishing I meant something to you

But I don’t care 

I shouldn’t mind 

I should be grateful for seeing you the whole time

 

But you are still a stranger 

at least to me 

I try to make myself believe that’s how it’s supposed to be

Better for me 

And pray to my god that there is someone in this world looking for someone like me 

Who is able to see me 

Entirely
