Less than the corner of your eye

 I prefer it when you ignore me
You see me out of the corner of your eye
Don't recognize me
I have no place in your real life

Why allocate me to your purgatory
Let me go ahead and do what I must
I can also play this game
I have become much better at ignoring my admiration for you

I used to attempt conversation
Some valuable exchange
beyond the odd event when eyes awkwardly meet
And we explain it all away in our heads

So allocate me to your oblivion
I come from islands where people live in extreme denial
They would rather fall on swords than admit feelings
I love you, wonder of your smoothness, want to know you

But will rid myself of all limerence
I'd prefer you ignore me
give me less than the corner of your eye
Pretend you don't recognize me

Offend my heart so, because I feel and I love
I'll get over it like I have a hundred times before
You'll never get to feel or experience what I had in store for you
The things so many undervalued, rejecting without knowing before.

What might have a bright beginning will have it's abrupt end
You can go back to lip-syncing the lyrics to a life quite pretend
