76. Leave Me Behind

It gets tiring, being the girl,

That waits around for her whole world. 

I've waited around when you promised to love me, 

And I realized you never did, suddenly.

Why did you say it, if you didn't mean it?

More importantly, why'd I believe it? 

It'll be sad, to wake up one day and find,

I've spent so much of my life waiting around, that the world itself has left me behind.
