How could you not know?
When you left me behind,
Leaving me to fend off the darkness on my own.
How if felt to be alone.
When no one was there to cuddle you,
To make you feel you weren’t alone.
I was there,
In the skin and flesh.
How could you not know?
When you rejected my calls and messages,
Letting me feel like I was the only one in this world.
How it felt to be alone.
When you had something to say,
Something to complain about.
I was there,
Patiently on the other side of the phone,
Listening.
How could you not know?
When you avoided me,
Allowing me to be alone in this cold world.
How it felt to be alone.
When you needed a shoulder to cry on,
When you were down.
I was there,
Lending my time.
How could you not know?
That life without you was never easy,
The tears and pain it came with.
How it felt to be alone,
To be abandoned.
Loving you was never a mistake,
But I hate myself for still loving you.
The longing for your love,
Seems like forever.
And forever is lost in the world.
