Unnoticed

Just as rain washes dirt from the earth
And fountains gush ferociously
So does my heart bleed from pain
Pain! Not for the love unrequited
Or for the words not uttered
Pain! Not out of jealousy
Of your ignorance of how i'm treated
But for the love I have for you
That makes me feel used
Pain for the love I have for you
That brings me to my knees
That makes me invisible
When people are around you
Pain for the love I have for you
Making me a captive of my emotions
My heart aches non-stop
As blood tickle down my eyes
Not because you don't see my pain
But because you don't know me well
