Would anyone notice?

What if I just stopped speaking
Like birds in winter
Would anyone notice?
What if I just sat down quietly
Walked the halls silently
Spent my time
Not calling
Not asking
Not talking
While my soul trembles
And my heart shivers
Would anyone notice?
Would anyone care?

What if I turned invisible
Like ghosts in stories
Would anyone notice?
What if I just sat down unseen
Walked the halls unnoticed
Spent my time
Not waving
Not pointing
Not gesturing
While my soul hides
And my heart cries
Would anyone notice?
Would anyone care?

What if I just disappeared
Like mist in the morning sun
Would anyone notice?
Just another empty chair
An empty hall
An empty life
No love
No fear
No grief
While my soul turned to stone
And my heart turned to ice
Would anyone notice?
Would anyone care?

   Would anyone notice?
   Would anyone care?
