Afterthought

I sit here waiting for you

Yet I wait for quite some time

 

You call and I answer

But your mind seems occupied

 

I pretend that I’m okay

But in truth I’m living a lie

 

For you say you care for me deeply

But I know I’m an afterthought in your mind

 

A day passes and you are okay

Yet I’m slowly dying inside

 

You say “Baby I’m busy”

But I know that is a lie

 

Heart slowly breaking

The beats seem to be no more

 

Yet I still wait for things to change

But honestly I can’t do this anymore

 

You think of me when it’s convenient

Other than that you could care the least

 

So why think of you constantly

When you can barely think of me?

 

I’m a person too you know

I deserve the same things as you

 

So don’t expect me to constantly accommodate

When I’m just an afterthought to you

 

“Stop valuing people who clearly do not value you. Life is too short to waste time waiting for someone to realize your true value! Surround yourself with those who care about you all the time, not when you are ‘convenient’ for them.” –Monica Renata
