Forget Me

I watch you forget me, break memories forged,

As I’m left in loneliness, your memory to linger

You speak calmly through shrouded mystery,

Unknowing of how each word you speak

Has an effect on me.

And the hardest part is to pretend

That I don't hold you dear. 

I shift to the edge of my seat as you appear,

And I can feel my heartbeat flutter when you are near—

But hope is dashed when you are next to me;

We might as well be miles apart.

You smile and laugh, while I hold a grudge,

Angry of how you don’t understand.

I torment myself behind closed doors—

Trying to find why I have been forgotten,

Do I speak too much or not enough?

Do I cross your thoughts or am I a dream?

I’m left without hope when you are here,

And I watch you look right through me.
