On The Outside Looking In

It's a cold and lonely place

on the outside looking in

There's a chill in my heart

as I look for you there

Trying to find a reflection

of how we used to be

I'm excluded and rejected

such a desolate place to be

How sad that you forget

all that we once shared

How long I would wait

in silence for you here

I had no expectations

it was just that I cared

I was always about 'feelings'

always about 'heart'

We had a long history

I was with you from the start

I gave you consolation

the warmth of my heart

Always there to listen

when you needed a friend

But you wrote the last words

on the page that said 'Goodbye'

Closed the book on me

and sent me away.

And showed me little understanding

in the end ...
