You Ignored Me



You did not realize
I had come, how far once
Just for you
Even against my habit
And my values
To honour
To adore
Your wisdom, love, affection
Your sincerity and truth
Without knowing you
I decided to give my life
To love you until my death
You did not value that
You ignored me with humiliating
I sadly pushed myself back
Where I was
You did not feel my appearance
You did not see my heartfelt love
That saw everyone
I hope you will also not feel
My disappearance
Now I have found the refuge
Within me
It is harmless
It is calm forever.
