You forgot
There's never an easy way to leave you—never did I deceive you. I was there to pick you up when you were down; I never let my heart touch the solid ground. I put in many cold nights kissing you trying to get rid of all our fights. I pushed you as hard as I could, never thought you would forget me —get out and never try to seek me. You forgot about all the promises you made me, and it still hurts that you betrayed me.
You forgot about the family we made; it was oh so right you just left without any fight. You forgot that happiness steams deep you can't forget about how many nights I lost sleep. You forgot about all the letters I sent; I'm not even talking about all the money that was spent. You did years, I held you down all the way. So how could you forget me on your final day? You forgot about the phone calls I was there every time the phone rang listening to you as you called out gods name. You forgot about what loyalty consist of its more than just love its pure and free as a white dove. You forgot a piece of me back at the war zone guns pulled you shot right through my heart the bullet lodged in my chest, pain so great I want to die !I didn't think you would even say goodbye . You forgot me left me out in the freezing cold how could you be so damn bold. You said we will build, instead you tore down you looked happy but I drew a frown . You forgot all the ink on my body was for you now I'm stuck with a chest full of blue. Permanate scars never going away, dealing with you was right is all they say. You forgot about the pictures we took there is so many we could of started a book—Theres so many theres more then one or two, what in the hell am I gonna do. You forgot where you came from I remember because real always shows through I just never thought this would be you. You turned out to be just as the world expected you to be powerless black and full of envy I seen through it all I'll be there again when you take that big fall.
You forgot that ring you placed on my finger was a symbol of never ending, who was I ever defending? There is two sides of you that make up for the one I'm done giving while you're just out here living. You forgot that the cell you were in was how this all began, it made you glide when all I did was try it took you to a place way higher than any cell you couldn't escape it; fate is the only reason you made it ! You forgot when you screamed for me I was there opened arms only closed when you weren't around. You forgot I never judged you for all the dirt that you did i covered myself with it—someone else's shit.
You forgot you betray your impatience, you let life live you instead of you living life. You forgot time waits for no one it moves in the direction of fate. You forgot what it took to be free you forgot all about me ! It's ok to live free to smile with no reason behind it but don't fake what you didn't make. You forgot me a million times one, it hurts far beyond the pain took my life and made these years I waited in vain, you forgot about the only one who gave their hands so you could write —who gave their eyes so you could see you forgot that this person... was me.
