#feeling forgotten

At night i see the stars lining,

While i'm in a group with a star that's missing.

I feel incomplete when that star left,

Now our pattern doesnt even make sense.

How can we be called a constellation?

When we're missing a part of completion.

Maybe in another night sky,

You'll finally be with me to form our line.

We'll be complete and be a sign,

A pattern that guides us to the light.

Did you leave cause you couldn't bear to be ignored?

Or you felt left out of place and their jokes hurts to laugh along.

I miss you even if i don't show it,

It's incomplete without you here in the darkness.

I won't forget you as a friend,

Yet i know this decision you made is for your very best.

Promise me you'll be friends with better people?

Not being chosen can hurt in a deep, lingering way. It can make you replay moments, question yourself, and wonder why it always feels like you are the one left waiting. That kind of pain doesn’t mean you are unlovable or lacking, it means you wanted connection, and that’s a very human thing to want.

Often, being overlooked has more to do with timing, circumstances, or the emotional limits of the people around you than with who you are. Some people don’t know how to choose with care, consistency, or depth. That doesn’t make you too much or forgettable. You shouldn’t have to shrink, perform, or change yourself to be kept.

Some days I wonder if I ever cross your mind

If I’m even worth the time

Because I’m out here thinking about you

But it seems for you this isn’t true

I ask if you noticed it’s been a few days

Since we’ve spoken

You say you haven’t noticed

And this shatters my heart

For every waking hour I was thinking of you

And here I am, a footnote in your life

As if I’m not tired of always putting in the work

To receive nothing in return, or worse

Get brushed off as possessive, clingy, crazy

But at least I’m not the one being lazy

It shouldn’t take so much energy to feel

Like I matter to you, and yet here I am

Waiting for you to put in the effort

And I’m still the one having to remind you to

I need you to care, I need you to make me

Feel like I’m I bring positivity to your life

But it’s hard to do that

When I don’t hear from you

Well, only if I initiate you do

You tell me you’re busy, and yet you can’t find

A minute of your day to tell me you’re alive

All I need is a word, or even an emoji

To make sure that I know you still love me

But instead you make me feel

Like I’m the one that’s wrong

For having feelings as if feelings don’t belong

So instead we play your game,

ignoring my needs

Because you’re right, I’m wrong

At least that that’s what you want me to believe

If you need space, you just have to tell me

Instead of stringing me along

As if I’m supposed to guess

Well I can’t read minds

What makes you believe I can read yours?

You make me feel like my needs are unhealthy

But maybe your perspective is just aloof

Because I shouldn’t need to make you care

About me, because that’s the goddamn point

I say I have needs

You say my needs are wrong

And yet I respect yours

Can’t you see what’s going on?

You treat me as if I’m the one that needs fixing

But if you’re constantly trying

To fix other people

Maybe they’re not the one with the problem

I want you to make me feel loved

But if you refuse to, I’ll have to look elsewhere

And then you wonder if I’m going to leave you

I really don’t want to

But I have my limits

And if you don’t respect them

I’ll find someone
