Forgotten

I have been forgotten.
You left me here alone,
To walk the edge so carefully
And avoid the casted stones.
I have been forsaken.
Despite how much I love
So much of me was taken
In this game of push and shove.
I have been taken for granted,
by the hands and hearts of liars
who have taken away pieces of me
while leaving my heart on fire.
I have been selfishly abused,
at the cost of truth and trust,
left to bleed so broken and used
while turning my dreams to dust.
I have been a victim,
but I will no longer bear it
I will put on a mask for others
it doesn't fit but I have to wear it.
I have been a puppet,
desperately seeking hope
only to find a new kind of pain
and a razor to help me cope.
I have been unwanted
and the pain has left its mark,
pretentious lies and alibies
have left me in the dark.
I have been misunderstood
and no one can share the weight
of the misery trapped within me
or my crooked, fragile fate.
So now I walk this edge alone
with a heart so rank and rotten
I have tried to be a good man,
But I have been forgotten.
