I forgot

I forgot how life worked
You just don't tell someone
You love them & except them to say it back to you.



Then they want to pretend as if
Everything never happened to persevere an already deteriorated friendship.


So, what's there left to keep?
Do i hide my feelings & keep them meek.
My callow soul is hurt & wounded by rejections scorching words
Can i convey how this truly hurts.
Or should i ignore myself yet again
&& try to ignore these broken feelings for you that i hold

I don't know whats worse
Pretending i dont love you or now ignoring the fact i do.

I stepped out of my comfort zone
I stepped away from everyone else

Just to find myself abandoned
Left with only petty regrets

All because i forgot how life worked
