Don't you remember?

by J Conner   Oct 20, 2012


Don't you remember?
Or did you forget?
I loved you endlessly & showed no regret.
Not once did I throw in your face the mistakes you made.
But I always appreciated what little attention you paid.
I couldn't pay you to notice the changes I made for you.
Some big, others small.
I ignored my unhappiness and stood tall.
Hoping that maybe one day you could love me the way I did you.
But in the back of my mind I always knew.
Always knew you were no good.
Break the cycle? I knew I could.
No more hurt, lies, deceit.
I would be the first girl in the family to claim someone who really loved me.
I would've done any & everything just to make you crack a smile.
If ever it happened it only lasted a little while.
Looking back I still wish there was something I could've done.
I could've stopped you. Why didn't I run?
You forgot that I was the one who loved you.
My love was always true.
No holding back or hiding anything.
With you I knew I was winning.
Or so I thought.
For your love I fought.
Gain your love? I could not.
It seems you forgot.
