AN: This poem is not by me, it's by my friend sprinterchic13. Thanks for letting me use this piece for my book!
Do you remember me?
I'm the shadow standing next to you
A smile on my face
A tear drop in my eye
I'm now forgotten
Do you remember me?
I laughed at all your jokes
Though the pain was too much
I'm the forgotten shadow
Do you remember me?
I sat up frint in every class
Raised her hand,
Knew all the answers
But now I'm just forgotten
Do you remember me?
You fell in love with me and broke my heart
Though we remain friends
Now you have someone else
And now suddenly I am the last choice
No longer do you check in on me
Now I am just the forgotten shadow
Do you remember me?
I was the girl
who sacrificed much to help you
I was the girl who never cared for herself
Bottling things up
And ignoring the pain
As I helped you along the way
Now that I moved
I'm just the forgotten shadow
Do you remember me?
The girl sitting in the corner
All alone at lunch
Trying hard not to cry
Even though the pain is breaking me down
I am forgotten
No longer important
You found someone else
Didn't you?
Someone prettier
Someone closer to home
So now I am just forgotten
Do you remember me though?
You were my safe place
I was your love
I guess no longer is that true
You just forgot about me,
Tossed me aside
No longer do I matter
Do you remember me?
I was the shadow
By your side all these years
Silently screaming out in pain
But laughing all the same
Tears welling in my eyes
But dare do I break down
I am a forgotten shadow
Tossed aside in the dark
No longer do I matter
No longer am I at home
No longer do I have a heart
It was ripped out long ago
Do you remember me?
You say I make Union Mine proud.
I wonder if the is so
For I feel as if I am forgotten
Since I am no longer close to home.
Do you remember me?
I am a shadow in the corner
Desperately trying to smile
Laughing away the pain
But then it comes back
I am the girl
Crying herself to sleep
Breaking down when I am all alone
No longer do I feel safe
Now I am just forgotten
Tossed aside in the shadows
Left to have the pain
I am the forgotten shadow
Someone came to replace me
Since I am no longer close to home
My heart was ripped out
The pain is my only friend
I was tossed aside
No longer do I matter
No longer am I missed
It was all a lie
The I love you
And the I miss you
That I received from everyone
Someone better came along
And they no longer needed me
So I was simply tossed aside
Simply forgotten
The pain is now overwhelming
So few people care
I am now the forgotten shadow
No one seems to remember me
I was tossed aside
No longer am I important in your life
S o I apologize
I gave you all I had
I apologize
For all the years, all the days
We spent together
I apologize I wasted your time
Since I wasn't important to begin with
And to my new friends
Let me apologize ahead of time
I'm sorry if I too waste your time
I'm just the forgotten shadow
So just toss me aside
So I don't have to bring you down
I am just the shadow
Who is now forgotten
Tossed aside
No longer important
Friends back home don't care
They just needed me out of their lives
Someone new came along
And replaced me in their lives
So everything was a lie
I am just the forgotten shadow
