Invisible Me

Attraction is serious. And I am comical.
I wonder why I have been left sitting here,
a centrepiece of sorts.
A comedy of errors.

A mother first
and not much more second.
I see you taking things seriously
and I am not.

You eyes search,
they scan the crowds.
They seem to peer around corners
and through windows.

I am so close, that sometimes I see you seeing through me.
I wave my hands, I smile bravely,
I see you,
as you pretend you did not see me.

I am smiling.
Bc In my pain I know that the truth is a beautiful thing.
I am funny.
In my smile is a thousand tears.

I see you seeing through me-
and to hold on,
to breath in-
I have to remember I am a joke.

A joke told over and over again.
A comedy of errors.
A centrepiece of sorts.

Something I never thought I would be.
Now that is funny.
