Forget Me

Its what you do best.

Your words shrink to nothing as I drift away.

I wont tell you not to reach for me

because I know you don’t want to.

The truth is in plain sight

but my eyes avert its location.

I don’t need you’re “tough love,”

as you like to call it.

I need a hug,

a shoulder for my tears to land on,

the feeling that I’m not a bother.

I need my emotions recognized,

not dismissed.

“There’s nothing to be sad about.”

There’s so much to be sad about.

I wish you knew me as much as you say

you do, but you don’t.

If you did, you’d know I’m

A b**** because I’m sad,

distant because I feel pain,

detached because the one person who

has spent 3 years with me still

doesn’t know how I feel,

how I act or

how to comfort me.

I wish you knew how often I hide

my emotions.

You’d be surprised how many times I

go to the bathroom to let out a few tears.

How many time I bite my tongue to suppress my

sadness.

But you don’t know me

so I know it’s not hard to

Forget me.

I loved reading your poem. It suprises me how I can sympatize with what you wrote. I've known my ex boyfriend for over 3 years, we've been off and on since then...

He's the person who I thought new me the most. I was wrong. I'm very hurt and lost. Thank you for posting this. Good luck, Dani!
