Where I Stay

By Hiya Ranka

I stay in rooms for a little too long 

Longer than the needs of my service 

Long enough to hear every talk that was supposed to be unheard of They don't see me eavesdropping 

But I linger between their words 

I mix up in the air 

That fills up the room 

Where they no longer hear me talking 

I just wait till the chaos settles down 

Then maybe in the darkness of it all 

They see a pair of hazel-eye 

Waiting to be recognized 

I stay in rooms for a little too long 

Longer than they anticipated 

I stay to lose myself within those walls 

Just to know what I am worth 

Just to know how long it takes to be the forgotten one
