Keep Forgetting

I keep forgetting what this feels like,
This hollow aching pain in my chest,
Like a falling cascade of rain around me it takes it’s bite,
All I feel is shivering cold and all I can do is try my best,
No one here to hold me,
No one will ever see.
That your words came too late,
And so I do weep and cry,
Where are all the reasons why?
I did as you said with love and hope as my guide,
So why oh why is my heart tossed aside?
Not just once, twice, or thrice,
I’ve lost count of my hearts sacrifice.
