I'm Still Here

by @taylor-b-1

Dark of night, no stars in sight I'm driving home in the dead silence Left with my thoughts I was the last one standing Everyone had already left Left me to be with myself Did you forget about me? Things are not as they were In the end I'm always left alone Another day passes And I'm left wondering if you even remember me I'm still here where I have always been I'm the one that never leaves I'm the one that will always be there for you I'm the one you can always come to Where have you all gone Would you even consider me your friend Why am I the one left with the short end of the stick? You always said that you’d be there for me You said we would always be friends You said that we’d stick together through thick and thin But when was the last time that you put effort in our relationship? At least six months ago I'm to blame also, I've stopped going out of my way for you to remember me In my phone I still have you as my bff forever Do you even have that same number? Am I even a contact in your phone? It’s not like I don't see you in the halls all of the time And you know where to find me You ignore me when I try to talk to you You know that I'm also going to go but you don’t ask to meet up Or even attempt to find me I'm the one who at least says hi If you were truly my friend you'd realize that I miss you All of you that have left me I can still remember you but do you even know who I am? I was the crazy one That one that could always brighten your day The one who was always happy But that’s not me anymore I'm still crazy like I have always been But I keep getting left alone and my smile has faded and I don’t know what it looks like anymore Friends are always supposed to be there for you They are the ones you go to in bad times There the ones you go to in good times Who is left to be here for me? Who am I supposed to go to now in my bad times looks like my dogs are the ones to hear about the good times If they ever happen I should be used to being left all to myself in the end by now It’s a common thing that happens to me But I never expected my two greatest friends to leave me in the dark I wonder around with myself I am my own best friend Not in a shallow way but in a way where I'm the only person that is always there for me I'm not completely alone I do have some friends People I can small talk with People who truly don’t get to know the true me But no one wants to get to know the true me Because if they did then you guys may have never left You perhaps didn't even notice it but I did I know I'm not the same person I was before But maybe that’s because you have all left Did you ever think that all of you are the reason why I'm like this? You guys have left me all by myself And by doing so you have changed me You have changed me for the worst I was always there when you needed me most I was always the one you could go to I was the one who could brighten your day and make you forget all of the bad things I need you now, so why have you disappeared? Why can I no longer go to you? At this point just acknowledging me will make me smile Dark of night, no stars in sight I'm driving home in the dead silence Left with my thoughts
