Left Behind

I wish I could explain the torrent of
emotions raging through my soul.

How could you leave me here in this
cruel, unforgiving place?

             Alone.

                Forgotten.

                    Invisible.

People stop & turn to stare, no doubt
wondering why I'm here.

I wonder what they're thinking, as they
look right past me to the wall behind.

             I'm abandoned.

                A dark shadow.

                     Out of place.

The only place I seem to belong is in
the strength of your warm embrace.

But the warmth left with you...
And I no longer fit in.

Author notes

Let's see...not much of an explanation for this one.  I was sitting in the library at school today, watching people walk past & marveling at the fact that no one stopped to find out why I wasn't in class.  In a world full of selfish ambition, I really shouldn't have been surprised...but it made me think.

    I love the style you used here. The way it's set up and read really works with the feeling you put into this... Stuck there, in the middle of everything, alone, and nobody notices because one of the few people who cares was the one that left you there...
