Coffee Shop (Fade Away)

I'm just a girl sitting alone in a coffee shop.
Not saying a word, not drawing attention.
I sit with a cup of coffee and a pen: all I really need.
I don't make a sound but my words scream through my pen.
I beg not to disappear, I cry for purpose.
No one sees the girl in the corner, head down to the paper.
No one knows her life is standing still, she's fading away.
I'm not supposed to be here but cobwebs hold me captive.
I long to move, I dream of adventure.
But no one sees the girl alone in a coffee shop.
She's invisible, she has no voice.
I don't want to be her, I don't want to fade away.
In white noise and faint aromas no cries are heard.
I was just a girl sitting alone in a coffee shop.
I fade away.
