Am I the forgotten one?
No invite from family
Less than 5 minutes away in the same town
Not stopping to visit
Rarely see them
Adult me try not to care
Inner child me devastated
Broken promises
I'm heartbroken
Inner child me learned to not have high hopes
Adult me have a mustard seed of hope
I wish I didn't
Their words don't mean anything to them
When they say they'll visit the next time in town
But don't...
Hell would have to freeze over before they ever change
Constantly let down since as a child
In my mid 20s
It shouldn't impact me the way it does
But sadly it's just me
I care too much
When I shouldn't
Constantly let down
Try to mask the hurt
I wish I didn't care as much as I do
Tired of being let down
Dealing with the constant hurt from it
