Did You Forget Me?

I've always felt that you were different from many others
You were the only one at the time who seemed to understand
But I could not open myself to you
Because you wouldn't open up to me

I knew things about you that you didn't think I had
I read you better than you thought
It saddened me to watch you
Every day you faded just a little bit more

Just when I thought I would get through
You left without saying goodbye
I never understood why
It hurt to think you saw me as nothing

Though we talked from time to time
We drifted slowly apart
I felt my heartstrings being ripped from me
And it hurts to think you didn't care

I saw you as my flesh and blood
I wanted nothing more than to make you smile
I would have done anything to make you happy
But you ignored me

I can't count how many times I've done this
It pains me more than you'll ever know
The day I finally let you go
Though I still think of you as my brother

Your heart is shrouded and your eyes are dull
You let corruption take you
But why? I'll never know
There's nothing I can do now

It tears me apart to see you this way
It hurts even more to know that I could have saved you
You're just a shadow now
Perhaps that's what you wanted

I'm still waiting for you to listen to my voice
My pleas and my tears
But it seems that you're too far now
Or perhaps you have forgotten?

When you claim you are alone
You don't seem to remember that I'm right behind you
Do you not care any more?
Or...


Did you forget me?
