Poem of the Forgotten
Location
I'm always beside you
Even if you don't see me
I'm always there for you
Even if you don't need me
Saying that first hello
Will make my heart lighter
But returning the second
Won't make me smile brighter
I'm just a friend for you
To speak to if you need to
And when I'm ignored
It's alright, there's nothing you can do
These tears are all real
Yes this is true
These tears are for everyone
You, you, and you
They're not for myself
Oh no, surely no
They could be for me
That would be selfish, though
Selfish of me
To cry because you're happy
To go on without me
So your life isn't crappy
I'm sorry I'm like this
I'm sorry I care
I'm sorry I'm desperate
It's just too much to bare
I just want to be noticed
I just want to have meaning
I want to have friends
Who don't mind me clinging
"You're all that I have
And all that I've got
I don't want to lose you
For I would lose a lot"
That's why I stay
Even when I'm ignored
That's why I follow you
Just for when you get bored
Even though you can't see it
My big and broken heart
It's still here when you need it
And it won't be so tart
Not sour or bitter
No hatred or fear
Only love for my friend
Because you're still here
Even when I'm ignored
Even when I'm cut off
Even when I'm left out
Frail heart rejected with a scoff
I'll always be beside you
Even when you don't see me
I'll always be there for you
Even when you don't need me
I'm your shadow
I'm your "stalker"
I'm the "annoyance"
Who can be quite the talker
The reason for my words
Why they seem to never end
Is because I never speak
Never allowed with others in this trend
They always cut me off
Interrupt my words
Never can I speak
For my speech is lost in herds
Even in a trio
Just us three
My speech is cut off
Like the wings of a bee
And my frail heart?
What happens to it you ask?
That is hard to say
Not an easy task
It's hard to describe
To put my pain into speech
We'll just say the light is drained
Suched out by a leech
This leech has a name
The name "third wheel"
Don't believe me you say?
He is very much real
You can't ever see him
Can't take him away
He hides quite well
Just a game he'll play
Don't fear on my life
No need for alarm
He doesn't hurt much
He never means harm
He's my only true friend
Been with me forever
He won't ever leave me
No, not ever
Despite how I feel
With that leech at my heart
To be noticed might save me
Pierce him with a dart
Kill the beast of darkness
That drains out my light
Save my soul from the depths
And make my heart bright
Notice me there
Go on, give it a chance
My broken heart won't hurt you
It just wants a dance
Just wants to laugh
To have a good time
To be surrounded in love
So I can call it mine
So I won't have that shame
The shame of those stitches
The temporary fixes
And all those little glitches
Show it the love
The love it really needs
With any love you show it
It will reward your good deeds
