I used to be the one you chose <br />To tell your troubles to, <br />I listened to your heartfelt words <br />When you were down and blue; <br /> <br />I was always there for you <br />Like you were there for me, <br />But lately things have changed - you're not <br />The way you used to be; <br /> <br />In your words a sadness <br />Has stripped the color bare; <br />And all the warmth that used to be <br />Just simply isn't there; <br /> <br />Words that used to mean so much <br />No longer dear to you, <br />I'm not sure that you hear them now - <br />The way you used to do; <br /> <br />You seem to be preoccupied <br />Your mind no longer here, <br />You've moved into another space <br />You're motives are unclear; <br /> <br />The pattern now repeats itself <br />Just like it's always been - <br />I kept the pace, but lost the race............. <br />Forgotten once again.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgotten-3/
