I've been waiting for so long.
I put in so much effort.
I couldn't wait to show you.
You wanted to wait until it was finished.
I worked so it would be.
Finally, there was a time to show you.
I wanted nothing more.
You kept trying to make me smile,
But that would've been the best way.
You were too distracted to want to.
Found yourself busy with other things.
Guess I have to just wait some more.

You don't need to continually tell me what I did wrong.
Once is enough.
Tell me once
And I'll fix it.
If I mess up again,
Then please correct me again.
I don't need to hear the stories multiple times.
Once is enough.
It won't fix it if you keep telling me
What others did wrong.
I get tired of this.
Every time something goes wrong.
I hear about it time and time again.
Once is enough.
It hurts to hear it.
How many times does it have to get awful
Before I do something... terrible?
...
Once is enough

You worry if what you do is enough.
I can assure you it is.
When I feel abandoned
And left in the cold
You are there to warm me.
You are always there for me.
You give me someone to talk to.
You constantly try to make me feel better.
You remind me of who I am
When I fear I am becoming something else.
Best of all, you love me
When it seems nobody else does.
You mean everything to me
This poem is written for my love

What is it like to be forgotten?
Every action
Everything you've done
All the time you've put into helping others
It all simply vanishes.
Nothing remains.
You're left as naught but a shadow.
Formless, shapeless, nonexistent.
It leaves you with nothing but pain.
Those you've known for years.
Those you've called your friends.
Even the one you love.
Everyone has forgotten, eventually.
Tis a feeling I know too well

— The End —
