INVISIBLE

INVISIBLE

We still fantasize

That someone will find us

Interesting enough

Attractive enough

That we ourselves find

Interesting enough

Attractive enough

To come knocking at our doors

To want to spend time with us

But we are invisible

Just because we’re

Getting older

Does not mean that

There aren’t sad moments when

We still fantasize

But we are invisible

We still have eyes

We still see someone who’s

Interesting looking

Attractive looking

And imagine that we’re

Still quite attractive

Still quite interesting

We might yet still catch an eye

And feature in the odd fantasy

But we are invisible

We may still hope to get a

Furtive glance

From a stranger

Overwhelmed with strangeness

We still fantasize

But we are invisible
