I waited and waited,
You never came.
Guess you had better things to do,
yet another comforting lie.

I forgive you for once again
I blame myself.
Maybe I am just miserable or too emotional.

But please, stop being busy.
Forever you are busy with yourself, other people.
And in the midst of it all you neglect to remember, I still need you.

Bear in mind though, I am used to it.
I have become so used to being disappointed, it is sickening.

However, I love you and I pray,
Yes, I pray, strange as it may seem,
We get through this and somehow
You will eventually care.

Nevertheless, do not be concerned.
I am in good hands here.
Take care of yourself and please
remember me.
