About Someone

Ignorance

Your ignorance, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your neglect, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

Neglect

Your ignorance, a burden you bear,
A shadow that follows, everywhere.
In your neglect, I see the pain,
A heart that's lost, in the rain.

About Someone

Apathy

Your ignorance, a constant plight,
A shadow that haunts, day and night.
In your neglect, I see the cost,
A heart that's lost, forever lost.

The Silent Echo

In your eyes, I sought a sign,
But all I found was a vacant line.
Your silence, a void so deep and wide,
Left me feeling cast aside.

About Someone

The echoes of your absent voice,

Left me with a painful choice.
To scream into the hollow air,
Or find solace in my own despair.

About Someone

In every glance, a thousand words,

Unspoken, unheard, like distant birds.
Your ignorance, a heavy shroud,
Turned my cries into a silent cloud.

About Someone

Yet in your void, I found my song,

A strength within to carry on.
The silent echo, once a pain,
Now a whisper of my gain.

The Unseen Void

You walked by, a shadow cold,
Leaving stories left untold.
Your gaze, a wall of ice and stone,
Left me feeling all alone.

About Someone

In the crowd, you disappeared,

A presence felt, then swiftly cleared.
Ignored, my heart began to fade,
In the silence that you made.

About Someone

Your absence spoke in volumes loud,

Leaving me beneath a cloud.
Yet in that void, I grew to see,
The strength that silence gave to me.

About Someone

The unseen void, a lesson stark,

Ignited my inner spark.
In your neglect, I found my way,
Turning night into a brighter day.

About Someone

Silent Void

In the echoes of the empty room,
Lies a heart filled with gloom.
Each silence you gave, each look away,
Turned my bright world to gray.
Your absence, a deafening sound,
Left my soul tightly bound.
With every moment of neglect,
Came the feeling of respect deflect.
Your ignorance, a cold embrace,
Left me longing for a different place.
In your silence, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever changed, forever free,
From the chains of your apathy.
