Who in this World Matters

He looked at me.

Smiling as widely as humanly possible

As he reached out tender hand.

He spoke to me,

Saying soothing words,

Bestowing an importance I hadn't previously possessed.

He gave me value

Recognition

Joy and relief flowed, stemming from feelings

That had remained hidden

For so long.

So long...

He reached out to me.

An impish grin adorned his face

As my heart was torn from my chest.

Laughing about me

With his emotionless friends

As I ceased to exist.

My memory lost it's meaning,

As my importance vanishes

For all but me
