There I stood

Author's Note: “This song was most listened to on my ipod for over a month, the lyrics coordinate to my life how pieces create a puzzle.  When I first heard this song I would listen to it over and over until the lyrics played silently in my head. It just makes me smile knowing that I’m not the only one in this world that sometimes feels invisible. I wrote a poem about this song, but keep in mind I do not write poetry a lot so I’m just trying to take a stab at it. This song is "Invisble" by Taylor Swift.”

She can’t see the way your eyes

Light up when you smile

She’ll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by

And you can’t see me wantin' you the way you want her

But you are everything to me

I just wanna show you

She don’t even know you

She's never gonna love you like I want to

And you just see right through me

If you only knew me

We could be a beautiful

Miracle,

Unbelievable

Instead of just invisible.

There’s a fire inside of you

That can’t help but shine through

She’s never gonna see the light no matter what you do

And all I think about is how to make you think of me

And everything that we could be

Like shadows in a faded light

Oh, we’re invisible

I just wanna open your eyes

And make you realize

I just wanna show you

She don’t even know you

Baby, let me love you

Let me want you

You just see right through me

But if you only knew me

We could be a beautiful

Miracle,

Unbelievable

Instead of just invisible

She can’t see the way your eyes light up when you smile

There I stood: there I stood waiting for you to turn around and come running back into my arms, there I stood wanting you to love me for me, there I stood with tearing welling up in my eyes while remembering all the times where you told me you loved me, there I stood wanting you to want me.

Here I stood: here I stood wanting to leave my world because you weren’t apart of it anymore, here I stood knowing you weren’t going to come back to me, here I stood questioning if you ever loved me at all.

Here I was wishing: wishing the sting of rejection would fade away, wishing I’d never met you, wishing you wouldn’t have broken my heart into a million irreparable pieces, wishing that I could just move on and love another, wishing you had known how much I loved you.

Here I was realizing: realizing you weren’t the one for me, realizing that you had moved on, realizing I meant nothing to you, realizing I was just a piece in your little lying games, realizing I was done with you, realizing I should stop trying to convince I’m your soul mate not her, realizing I was done with you.
