Abandonment

You abandoned me

I know you didn't really mean to

But you did

You took me in

You cared for me

But as I slipped

You decided you were done with me

As my mind drifted further off

The faster you wanted to send me off

Out of your care

And to someone else's hands

~

But that's okay

Because I forgot

I forgot who you were

And that you abandoned me

You were just another person I saw

Day to day while someone took care of me

You would laugh and something would click

For a brief second I would remember

That you abandoned me

But then I would forget

And wonder why you looked so sad

But then I drifted off

And didn't remember anymore

~

Only after you got rid of me

Did you suddenly decide you missed me

But it didn't matter anymore

Because I couldn't remember anyway

So go on and live your life

You paid your dues

And then got rid of me

So live your life

And hopefully one day you'll forget

You'll forget how you abandoned me

~
