You walked away
without a thought
I look around
should I have fought?
But if you forgot
so easily,
what's the point
I'm life's debris.
The best you were
I guess I'm wrong,
there seems no place
where I belong.
My heart's alone
now we're apart
I'll never make
a brand new start.
For if you went
without a care,
there's no hope left
I'm in despair.
The others will go
I know that now
I'm on my own
through life somehow.
Do you know
what hurts the most?
I feel that to you
I was merely a ghost.
Says a lot
for two so close
it's over now
life's just morose.

Whoa. Total sadness. To be unnoticed, taken for granted, and then tossed to the side is probably one of the most devastating things that can happen. We can suffer many hardships if only we know and are known by others. If we have love. But to be unacknowledged brings despair.
This one is really well put. You touch on what I think is one of the saddest things of all--loneliness.
Well done, lady!
