Ephemeral

She feels so out of place most days,

so lost,

that you would think

there was once a time

when she belonged to someone,

that she had accidentally

been misplaced somehow.

 

But you must first have something

before you can lose it.

 

And it’s not like anyone ever wanted

her to begin with.

 

No.

 

She is a translucent thing,

you see.

 

She walks straight through walls–

for no one ever seems to notice her

when she comes in from the door.

And she’ll slip from a room so easily

it was almost like she was never

even there at all.

 

It only takes a second–

a blink,

a bat of an eyelash.

 

By the time you’ve turned around,

she’s gone.

 

She was always so good at

disappearing.

 

But it’s no matter;

her presence never fazed you,

what makes her absence any different?

 

No one would ever care

to love a translucent girl anyway.

 

A girl so…

out of place
