It hurts when you come to realize
You don't mean as much to someone as you thought.
There's a special kind of pain for being forgotten, easily replaced and discarded. And it's a pain that comes to you from different angles. But a pain that lingers and weights you down as well.
It never truly goes away
Never slowly dissipates
It's always there
Ephemeral; yet forever
Time can mute it
Shave down the jagged edges
But it's always there
Your constant reminder.
