The Feeling of Unwantedness
I wonder if you know how it feels,
The overwhelming power of undying non-essentialness--
To be the wanted one and the reciever of an unfaltering loyalty;
But then being cast aside without a second glance.
My heart aches with the knowledge that the loyalty that once was felt is gone--
The "I want"s, 'I love it when"s, and the "I will never"s vanished.
How could I have been so careless not to see the unwavering truth from the start?
To think that you would want me.
Me, of all people.
I'm not worth anything to you, I never was.
I could blame you for all the pain I was caused;
But the truth is, nothing would change--
It was never you;
I was the one who was foolish, the naive idiot who believed.
I believed in a future that was never meant to be in the first place.
