In the dark of your shadow,

I don't give you my direct glance.

Its better this way.

Should I dare hope you look my way?

The fear and anxiety I feel,

is my curse I caused myself.

To not be heard or seen is as painful to the sin in my heart.

Don't look my way.

Don't hear me.

Do not even think of my existence.

There will be no day on earth you and I shall exchange emotion.

Let me admire my affection for nothing more but a ghost I'll never meet or greet.

My mind shall forever sink...

I was not meant to even know one as you.

To be stared at,

I might as well be shot for even returning the gaze.

It's dangerous.

It's a sin.

My own space is forever mine alone yet unknowingly you came closer than you should have.

Your existence is poison to me...

To taste by mere smell is painful enough.

I can't help but wonder what would it be like to die from a person like you?

To suddenly spend my dying moments knowing you finally noticed me...

Just as my time in this life has passed,

you were the apple in my eye...

And I was your Snow White.
