You say we’re in love, you say it’s forever…a hundred years to be precise, yet here I sit, alone with the wonder of insincerity He says we’re in love… or rather he said we were, That’s in the past Messages exchanged were dripping with admiration and joy, Daily reminders of love dwindled to daily, weekly, monthly… gone “I love you” was something I was too used to hearing, took for granted even… and now? you won’t even respond to a simple hello you can’t blame me to think our love has met it’s end When your gut is in tangles, writhing like snakes, your tongue inundated with the bitterness of dread, There’s a reason people say to trust your gut… and here I am, with the unabating feeling that something’s gone terribly wrong Many would say its emotional abuse, yet I can’t seem to notice that trend… He’s making a game of your emotions, they say, yet here I stay I’ll be waiting in this silence forever, waiting for a call that never comes… waiting with a love that’s been forgotten

Ode to the Forgotten
You say we’re in love, you say it’s forever…a hundred years to be precise, yet here I sit, alone with the wonder of insincerity He says we’re in love… or rather he said we were, That’s in the past Messages exchanged were dripping with admiration and joy, Daily reminders of love dwindled to daily, weekly, monthly… gone “I love you” was something I was too used to hearing, took for granted even… and now? you won’t even respond to a simple hello you can’t blame me to think our love has met it’s end When your gut is in tangles, writhing like snakes, your tongue inundated with the bitterness of dread, There’s a reason people say to trust your gut… and here I am, with the unabating feeling that something’s gone terribly wrong Many would say its emotional abuse, yet I can’t seem to notice that trend… He’s making a game of your emotions, they say, yet here I stay I’ll be waiting in this silence forever, waiting for a call that never comes… waiting with a love that’s been forgotten
