The Invisible Woman
63Walk On By
Invisible Woman
I am the Invisible Woman
With friends and acquaintances galore
But inside you really can't see me
I am dying each day wanting more
Of love I have dreamed of forever
Which disappears and cuts to the core
Starting out with so much promise
Can you tell me is it something I do?
Never mind, it is none of your business
Because it's all about you
You have pressing schedules that call you so often
Computers and phones and associates you adore
That tell you what you want to hear and I don't
You are the hero of their story and their store
They coddle and cajole your obsessions
You give them everything you can and then more
So I become the Invisibile Woman
In the morning as you walk out the door.
And the evenings, well they are no different
Brushing by me as you change your clothes
All that mattered was what was for dinner
As you brush by me three times or four
With never an offered affection
I perform the appropriate chore
Hoping that one day you'll notice
And through somehow a miracle more
So I stay the Invisible Woman
As you advance further down the line
And wonder again when it's over
Why I ever thought you'd be mine.

Gregas, thanks for the feedback....tell her someone understands!
SGOL, I can really relate to this poem. Me and my wife are living together but we are so far apart. We fell out of love a few years back, but can't leave each other. That is why I write my poems of heartache
Simple Gift of Love: A beautiful poem. Thank you.
A wise man one told me that one could be in a room filled with one hundred people, and still be alone. I had to think about it at the time but it is truth.
This is beautiful, sadly it is the reality in many households. I am voting up and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
SGOL -It does seem like a simple gift doesn't it? With a heavy heart, I vote this up and beautiful.
Certainly a sad poem, yet, beautifully written and extolling the concerns that many in relationships deal with. Your poem has so much true feeling within it. Wonderfully expressed!
Cleaner3, I am so sorry, and I understand. I want to touch hearts, with the realities of life, because sometimes there are seasons. Others have pat answers to give, but they may not understand the beauty that can be shared in the souls as we reach out to safe places where we may heal. We are all in this together. Be blessed to know that you are not alone in your journey. You have been a support to others, therein is your healing and peace. Pains shared is divided into portions that can be processed. Thank you for your comments, as always.
Dave, absolutely. I have been that person more often than not, however I have come to the conclusion that when I am in that space, I can reach out, and often it turns out to another in equal isolation. Our conversation becomes a life preserver as it were, leading back to the shore, relieved from drowning in sorrow or hopeless drifting. Therein always lies the cure to self-absorption. Have a great day and thanks for the wisdom.
Lisawilliams, I know by my lifework and experience that this is true. I was compelled and inspired to pour it out of my heart at 2:00am this morning and receive great consolation that it was our Heavenly Father's way of comforting many. Thank you for reading and commenting. Blessings.
Cre8tor, It is a simple gift when we consider that we are NEVER truly alone. Thank you for your comments and impressions.
Hello Dexter, It is good to "see you" and "hear from you" again. I know you understand, and that you feel compassion and encourage others. Thank you for visiting and commenting. See you soon!
Beautiful and sad poem. I've always told my kids, love the one your with or someone else will. It's sad people don't take the time to appreciate what they have until it is too far gone. I hope you work this out for the best one way or another.
Tams R, thank you so much for your kind words. It is the love of God, of friends and spiritual companions that fill me with more love than I can contain. Spilling out on others, that's my hope. Have a blessed evening, thanks for stopping by!
SGOL,
Your words ring true.
I am so blue
I don't really know what to do
how do you deal with the pain
of heartache that runs through
when the one you love
does not love you
Sorry but I had to get that out of me.thank you for listening.
your soul mate, Michael
Cleaner3, As I learn more about boundaries, I have realized that my own fears keep me from saying no to things that are not ok for my heart and soul. My prayer is that you will know how much you are loved through the
One who knows you the best. I appreciate your sensitivity and honesty. Thanks for your words, they are as beautiful as your soul.
Loved reading this. Powerful, sad and emotionally evoking. Up and beautiful.
Thank you Iva. I am glad it touched your heart. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
OMG ~ that gave me chills. I have been in that place. It's the loneliest place in the world.
Thank you for sharing your heart and this kind of emotion in this piece. Voted up and BEAUTIFUL.
Bella Nina, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Your poetry is beautiful as well! It is a lonely place, and it is good that we can transfer our needs to God.
