Transverse Invisibilty Poem by Lauren Miller

Transverse Invisibilty



I'm here
Can you see me?
pressed up against the wall
Feeling about 2two and 3 quarters of an inch tall
You're singing your songs
and painting away
A doul sould straight to creativity
You're keeping me clinging
here for safety, with every word

I'm here
Can you see me?
This invisibility
Isn't all it's cracked up to be
Sure, I can longer
without
thinking
that maybe, you're judging me
Sure, I can whisper empty feelings
into your ears when you sleep
But when you awake
You still have no memory
that I ever watched you breathe
and that was the gift
you gave to me

I'm here
Can you see me?
I'm struggling to break
these see through bonds
Reconstructing my DNA so you can see
I'M HERE
for you
So that you can see that my face
Is an exact replica of
yours
Of the loneliness and the fear
That I didn't know existed in
you

I'm here
Can you see me?
You think that you're all alone
But I'm here
Right beside you
You're not walking alone
How I pray
and I wish
That you could feel my hand
wrapped tightly around yours
That you could see my flesh
is touching you,
keeping you grounded
I just want you to know
that you're not
Alone

I'm here
Can you see me?
I miss you
I'm not sure where you are
anymore
and it's really hard
To be here
Alone
I can't see you
but I'd like to think that
maybe that's because
You've finally turned invincible too
