Hiding from the pain I felt before.
I have this to my advantage.
This time I can go numb,
Whenever the pain is too sharp,
Or too over whelming.
I prayed for a second chance,
To right the wrong I'd done.
But when that chance came,
I wasn't strong enough to grab hold of it.
I failed yet again.
I let it go.
Now this is my punishment,
For all the pain I've caused.
I must endure the kind of pain I put out.
Forced to watch as I lose my last hope.
Standing helpless on the shore,
As I watch you drown.
I've been alone for so long,
Pulled away from those I once cared about.
Dying in solitude.
But none of them even notice my absence.
No one notices that something is missing.
Hurt once again.
You just stand there casting a pitiful glance,
As my whole world divides.
You stand back and watch as they hurt me.
You do nothing to ease the pain.
You let them hurt me.
Betrayal looms in the air.
I have angered the gods,
While begging for redemption.
I ran away to cry,
Dying inside after faking a smile for so long.
But you don't even notice I'm gone.
Occupied with something else.
You don't miss me, and you don't care.
If my heart was still there,
It would be broken all over again.
But I'm hollow so instead,
That empty space is just filled with pain.
You've moved on.
You've forgotten me,
And all we once stood for.
Even though I'm the one,
That would willing give my life for you,
You turn to others,
And look right through me.
You don't realize the pain I'm in.
These wounds refuse to heal.
If only I could let you know the truth.
Would you see me differently?
Will we ever be together?
Will I ever get my friend back?
It's never to become...
For I am not the one.
You've left me behind.
There is someone else.
How could I have thought,
That I could have been the one,
When there are so many others.
Can't you see the truth?
Can't you see how much I care?
You might never will.
I am forever forgotten.
