Left Field

I don't think I like playing these games
Talking like it's all the same
Weeks and months of silent torment
Don't say a word and I'll forget
But you know it doesn't work that way
Unless I'm odd and have an elephant's brain
Wishing you would talk to me
At least acknowledge where we use to be

I see you've gone and made new friends
It seems I've disappeared again
Should I stop by and say hello?
To be ignored and dealt another blow?
It's cruel the things that people do
Creating cliques - are you a member too?
Buddied up and being paired
Cast aside to where it's cold out there

But now you've got the bestest view
To watch over what the people do
Isolation makes friends with the beast within
Gaining knowledge and an evil grin
Tough decisions on how to handle things right
Let it pass, or cast it back in spite?
Silent and hoping someone else comes along
But your brain feeds you with an urge to be strong

A hard shell and exterior, but so soft underneath
Close your eyes and turn your back - don't want to be seen
Feeling down and trodden, and ashamed for your thoughts
Justified in thinking them, but it's a fool who acts tough
Waiting for the warmth of someone to again touch your hand
Hoping at that moment to erase the memory of them
