YDB

You walked by

You held his hand

You talked to me

You shared your life

You said you were sad, sorry

You dealt with strife

You mentioned anger;

You breaking up, so

You did this through text

You never really let go

You shared so much with me

You revealed so, so much

You later said you chased another

You never knew I craved your touch

You saw my clumsy attempts

You never said anything of the matter

You did respond well for awhile

You made my time worthwhile chasing the latter

You were let down once more

You, let down by the one you cared for

You never knew what lay in store

You never cared for my attention, 

You never did, oh no

You treated me like your closest confidant

You saw me as a footstool-comfortable, no more than so

You responded slower over time

You became busier

You did not ask me much

You did not ever ask to meet, here

You saw my final few messages

You hesitated, rightly so

You left, quietly

You never explained, for me to know

You were not to blame

You chose the right thing

And yet all along I thought it was 'We" that named the show

I am of course at fault

I failed, retained

I sit here and reflect

I have lost my hope

I must move on, and yet

I write poems, texts, posts

I reach out to the world at large to reaffirm my faith in self

I am really as pathetic as that and all it seems

I have nothing more to say

I remember still, almost two years to the date

I checked my phone, wondering why

I wondered then if you would reply

Little did I know that my phone would no longer ring

No more messages from the light that lost its bling

You

Deserve

Better
