Underfoot

 I was there

did you see me?

did you feel my presence

in the room?

I was there

Did you want me

did you care that

I wanted you?

I am here

and I see me

and you

for what you truly are

I am here

and I feel used

 and alone

And out of reach

There is nothing more I can do

without losing more and more of myself

There is nothing more I can give

Without fading into the darkness

There is nothing more

for me to do

except finally get out of the way

get out from being

under 

your foot
