Bursting at the seams

You dont ask if I am busy
You dont ask if I have other plans
You just assume am gonna drop all I am doing/planned and come over
You dont think twice before lashing out orders
You dont think twice before revealing your true feeling
You make me feel invisible.

There are times when all I want is a kind word
or maybe a smile

There are times when I cry to myself to sleep

and wake up with 

tears rolling down my cheeks

I know you dont even care... 

You dont seem to understand

You dont seem to care

You dont get the concept of feelings

nor the concept of space

And I remain invisible

You treat me as if I was on a leash

You treat me like am your slave

You cry and whine

You laugh and chatter away

Yet I remain invisible

People say it is alright

It is only you

I am to forgive

and you do all this for you love

People say if not with you

who else can she act this way

Not done- I tell them

Not fair- to me! 

Put them in my shoes

and let us see

How they fare, or what they say!! 

The feeling of being invisible.

Painful way to live..

I turn to my friends

They are my only solace

You hate them as well

You care not that they care about me

To them, I am not invisible.

Every time the phone rings

Every time I hear your voice

I wonder what next you have

for me to fulfill 

I bend over backwards

I put you as priority

and 

Yet, you thrash away with those words

I wish I was invisible 

I wish I wasn't here...~!!!
