Forgetting about that.

Oliver W

You're happy with them,
As a new day comes to stray,
I wish I didn't feel this way.
But you threw me away,
Without looking back.

But now that they are gone,
You beg me to stay.
It's just like yesterday,
With you expecting me,
To forget about that.

About this poem

The feeling of being betrayed, but then the betrayer acting as it it never occurred.
