Unspoken Words

i went to you for help an understanding
you lisetened politely and wished me well
i was the center of attention for a little while
no one else was there
just you and me and all the empty chairs
you let me speak my heart and watched me quietly
giving me the space to say what i needed
you didnt interupt and say you didnt care
but now someone else is here
you know them a little better than me
i became the watcher and listener
the conversation left me and started new
you forgot you were talking to me
i faded into the background
not able to understand why you didnt hear me
maybe i didnt talk loud enough
maybe i didnt demand your attention
maybe i didnt cry and yell and scream
maybe i wanted you to include me just a little
maybe i wanted you to remember i was there
maybe i wanted a hug and a kiss
maybe i wanted you to say you needed me
maybe i needed to here you say i love you
but im still there just waiting patiently to be seen
now there are many more people here
can you even see me anymore
would you notice if i was to leave
would you remember you once cared
i start to walk away silently
the tears roll down my face
i wanted to say thank you 
for talking to me and letting me know you cared
but i didnt i dont want to interrupt
a little sad and a little hurt i still say nothing
i leave the room just for the day
i cant turn my back on you
as i felt you did to me
i will return when you have more time for me
please dont forget me
i will still be here
waiting for when you will come back
and remember that you need me
