The Day Reality Arrived

Knock!!! Knock!!!

The Day Reality Arrived

 

I never knew, you had the heart to take advantage of me,

I ignored the warning signs and lived carefree.

Calling you day by day just to get an answering machine,

Waiting long hours by the phone in hopes I’d get a ring.

Always having you on my mind and fantasies as I dream,

Was the closest I ever got to making you my queen.

On those rare occasions in which we supposedly would interact,

I’d just get interrupted by the usual, “I’m busy can I call you back?”

Many efforts to get your attention or get you to listen,

Many times I’ve come to your aid just to get no recognition.

Only called to see what you could get from me,

After I would give you what you wanted you were nowhere to be.

Yet other friends and male associates would enjoy your company,

I’m not sure of what it was that made me not worthy.

Till this day, I still wonder how you are doing,

I see you need me now, voice mail convey you are pursuing.

But I’m too far gone to ever be brought back,

And how you feel about me now… I’d rather discard that.

For fact is fact and when I needed you most,

The simple matter is the fact that you never came close.

Now I’m gone, so long! I know you miss me year by year,

And for years to come there will still be more years of tears.

But dear, I once loved you so much; I would give it all,

I stayed humble and loyal to you even when you never would call.

But when one gets neglected they start to feel rejected,

And though I love you still, my heart I’ve also redirected.

I’m no longer present, but still you have my memories inside,

I always knew that once I left reality would arrive.
