When yesterday aches to the point of tears,
And you don't know what tomorrow will bring,
When no one needs you,
And you need no one,
When life is just beginning,
And when life is already ending,
When you are alone at night,
When you are alone in broad daylight,
When you are still alone in a crowded room,
When it's too late to change anything,
And you can't turn back time,
When it's too late to stop,
But you can't go on,
When you can no longer forgive anyone,
And you no longer believe in anything,
When you are waiting for someone to come,
While someone else is waiting for you to leave,
When your tears have long since dried,
But the pain still lingers,
When you are no more...
It is because
Someone you love
Has forgotten you.
The poem talks about the deep loneliness and sadness when someone you care about forgets you. It describes feelings of being alone, even when surrounded by others, and the pain of being unable to move forward or change the past.
The repeated lines build a sense of hopelessness, leading to the realization that all these feelings come from being forgotten by someone you love.
It’s a heartbreaking reflection of how much love and connection mean to us and how their absence can leave us empty.
