You forgot
You've forgotten
You forget.
You've forgotten how this felt.
How it felt to have a person you love so dearly
Ignore you
Hurt you
Betray you
Walk away when all you needed was someone to talk to
Walk away when all you needed was someone to love.
And you were loving them.
You've forgotten the pain
to be traumatized
to be numb
to be hopeless.
And nothing but pure rage can get you up in the morning,
To stop you from crying in order to go to class.
You forgot that you've been through something like this.
That once, a long time ago, you went through the same manipulation,
The same heartbreak.
You nearly ended your life then, and now all you can do is try to not go down the path.
No one can save you except yourself,
But you've forgotten.
