Invisible

She wonders why he doesn't look at her or talk to her.
Has she done something to upset him?
No, to him she is just invisible.
Invisible . . . she cooks, cleans his house and
joyously takes care of his children. Still she is invisible.
Invisible . . . still in love. She is happy to do anything
A wife and mother must do. Still she is invisible.
Invisible . . . the more she does for love sake the more
she becomes invisible.
Invisible . . . intangible, out of sight, beyond visual range.
Oh, to be seen again. Not Invisible.
Invisible . . . he wonders why she doesn't look at him
or talk to him . . . Invisible . . . he is now invisible.
