Forgotten man of love

I don’t know why I cry,

for you already walked away.

I don’t see why I stand alone,

when you already made this clear.

I don’t understand what I have done,

but your mind is made up.

I don’t want you to forget me,

yet in your silence my heart is dead.

Your words to me about love speak clearly,

but something inside of me cries.

The way you’d say my name,

gives me dreams to believe in.

How softly you would hold me,

paints the memories I wish to forget.

You would never remember my name,

a in you I am nothing now.

You would always say my name,

but now I am forgotten inside.

Reach for me again I beg of you,

but nothing do I feel but pain.

Seek me in this night I ask,

for only sorrowful tears do I cry.

What have I done to earn this,

I ask only to save my tears.

Now that I feel alone in your sight,

my eyes ask only to be remembered.
