Nothing important

Man, it hit me today. It felt like first, my heart froze. Then, it just shattered. I needed to stay strong in front of my parents, and siblings; my co-workers and friends. But God, it hurt so bad. The fact I was telling you something that hurt me, and you just say there on your phone, not bothering to even LOOK at me. And I just kind of made my words fade into nothing, blown away like dust, scattered towards someone who may care one day. And you just looked at me and said, "sorry, what?"
God, I just laughed and had to say it was nothing important, and you went on to talk about something that happened at work. And I listened. I listened like the idiot that I am, when you hadn't even given me a second of your attention.
But when you do, I feel like I'm on top of the world. But the lowest of lows makes me feel like I'm in the seventh circle of hell, tortured for the rest of eternity. I suppose this is my burden to bear if I so choose, isn't it?
