foolish one

foolish one
that's me.
the one who believed
in the stories you spun

i sit there
day after day
waiting for my phone
to light up
with a message
sent directly from you

that message never comes
and yet
here i am
holding onto the threads
of hope
that maybe
just maybe
you'll finally see me

i scroll through your memories
laughter ringing
in my mind
but the silence here is deafening
and i'm feeling left behind

each 'seen' feels like
a dagger to my heart
a reminder of the distance
that is quickly growing apart

foolish one
thats me.
waiting for a spark
a sign
a key
to unlock
the door
to what could've been

maybe one day
i'll stop waiting
for you
to notice me
but for now,
i'm the
'foolish one'
and i'll meet you
in the afterglow




a/n: what does afterglow mean?
