Crying Matters
Dear User of Me,
You walk right past
not a word said.
In the summer,
I almost saved your soul
from the wrath of a blue-haired lady.
But, mama said no and held me captive.
You threw me into silence,
no phone calls.
Not even another text,
or a dm.
I guess I don't matter.
I guess I was just convenient.
To you.
For you.
What we had was nothing,
just a patch in the history.
But, today, it's different.
Today, I stand, here.
In your line of sight.
Knowing I would help,
You allowed the words to slip right off your tongue.
"Marvia".
The first time I heard you say my name,
since summer vacation.
"Do you have pads?".
There it is.
Again, an open hand.
A signal for me
to put on my cape
and my suit
With the 'S' on the chest.
Just to dive right in
to save you.
"No".
The second time I say it.
"I don't have any".
You shrug it off.
Back to ignoring me.
Back to showing I don't matter.
This time, I don't let it slide
This time, I say it.
How I feel.
Why I feel the way I do.
You sigh and throw me that same excuse,
"I have been MIA to everyone all summer".
You and I both know that is not the truth.
The tale you rehearsed holds no weight.
But, to you, it doesn't matter what you say.
As long as I am out of your face,
because I don't matter.
What we had does not matter.
I have to learn to accept it,
move on to the happier stage of my life.
Do I ache?
Yes, I do.
Will it last?
No, it won't.
Love Always,
The Girl That You Made Cry
