To Lose What Mattered

Where are they now
When they say they care
Why did they tell me
They will always be there

Whatever happened 
Do they forget so easily
Have they moved on 
I'm not missed obviously

Why are they evasive
Would they rather ignore
Had they planned this 
Do I not matter anymore 

When being forgotten 
Its the emotional impact
To lose what mattered
Shattered becomes fact

I Assumed They Had Gone 

Going one step forward 
Then moving two back 
I am stuck in the groove
Upon the same old track

Awaiting for some clarity 
Going from here to there
No matter how hard I try
I wasn't getting anywhere

Staying in the same spot
I was unable to move on 
On a repetition treadmill
I was back at square one

It seems I was left behind
It was obvious they knew 
I assume they have gone 
For I failed to get through
