Those Lost

January 12, 2016

I'll always have these memories

from when times were better

no arguments...

or awkward silence

 

One by one

with each approaching year

I become abandoned

slowly, as time passes

 

Do I beg you to stay?

my words no longer matter...

those friendships lost

have nothing left to nurture

 

Do I miss you?

I miss the laughs

the silly sophisticated jokes

all the love I once felt

 

my heart screams for you

all of you...

no mater what you've done

I remain true

 

you hurt me..

all of you

beyond repair

yet I still care

 

It may be wrong

to keep holding on

do I dare let go?

 

you're all so much happier

without me around

causing trouble

 

I want to speak to you

though I know I shouldn't

no need to keep going back

 

you all wanted me happy

though when I try

I'm turned away
