You're just thinking it's a small thing that happened.
The world ended when it happened to me.
I just wish you would talk to me,
It's the saddest thing I've ever wished for ,
You said you'd keep in touch, I think you forgot to mention ' Just barely ' ,
Can't we go back to the way we were before ?
It's been half a year since I last saw you,
You keep telling me you'd visit , but you never do ,
You promised a lot of things and most of them are due ,
But , please! Can't we work this through ?
You missed my birthday,
You weren't able to make it,
When you told me this , I cried that day,
But I'm just a kid.
I was supposed to celebrate turning fifteen.
With you .
But you weren't there ,
I just wish I wasn't invincible to you and I could actually be seen .
You're the only father figure I've ever had,
But when you behave like this, I do admit , it makes me really sad.
I love you, it's ruining my life,
I don't know how you do it, killing me but also making me come alive.
I wonder what you'd say if you got to know that you made me cry ,
Would you have any guilt?
I think yes , yes you would feel guilty,
It would probably cause your heart to momentarily wilt ,
You would start making plans, clearing your schedule, to see me in the city .
But all of this would never happen.
Because you'd never know.
Who's gonna tell you? Not me .
Who knows I cried? Nobody but me .
Well ,
I will always miss you like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky ,
And I'll hope that you do too ,
I just hope we never say goodbye.

Sad any child neglected deserves more. But then any person neglected deserves more. When you bring someone into this world you become responsible for them. It pulls at the heart strings and brings tears. Can any of us say that we have not neglected someone when we shouldn't? Instead of pointing fingers should we not look in a mirror and do better ourselves. A lovely powerful write.
Thank you so much for taking the time out to analyse it and I will eternally be grateful to you 💖. Also , you are absolutely right about the conscious choice one makes when neglecting someone
