Am I That Easy to Forget?

Is it hard to talk to me?
All I need is your attention.
Why is it hard for you to respond?
My message is two months old in your inbox.
Are you really busy?
I wonder if you do the same with others.
Are you ignoring me?
Oh man, did I do something wrong?

Am I a nuisance to you?
I just want to talk to you.
Is it too much to ask?
I'm hurting, you have no idea.
Is it really hard to type?
I want to know if you're doing good.
Am I that unimportant to you?
You are important to me.

Do you want me to get lost?
I won't force myself to someone like you.
Am I that easy to ignore?
You're all the same.
Why am I always ignored?
I'm a worthless and hapless human being.
Do you really want me to stay away from you?
I don't get mad, I get distant.

Are you happy now that I give up on you?
I remember your smile and it confirms.
