Stanza MDCCCLXXVI

I sometimes feel as if I’m invisible,
as if no one can see me at all.
I never felt that way when I lived at the Lake House. 
You want to know why I came back
so fast? I got to the end of our lane.
I couldn’t remember where
the old town road was.
I went a little ways in the woods.
There was nothing familiar.
Not one damn tree.
What if I were smiling and running into your arms?
Would you see then what I see now? 
That’s why I came running back here to you.
So I could see your pretty face and I
could feel safe and that I was still me.
