by Sasami

I stand here
A shadow,
Before your
Very eyes.
I exist,
But perhaps
You don't
Realize that.
You walk by,
Pay me no
Regard while
My heart
Cries out
"I love
You!"

I try to
Impose my
Existence on
You, stand right
In front of
You, force you
To accept
Me and my
Love, but, still,
I'm just
Not here
Even
Though I
Love
You.

You bring tears
To my eyes
As you
Pay me no
Regard - It seems
That I still
Don't exist.
I kneel down
To the
Goddess
And cry.
You're just
Across
The room
But you
Seem to
Ignore me.

In the end,
I call
Myself
"Fool" for
Loving
You.

My anger
Towards myself
Unparalleled,
You finally
See me,
But you
See no way
How an
Angry
Young man
Like me
Could
Love
You.
