Forgotten

Slowly it slips away from sight forgotten into the shadows, It watches from the darkness how the world still moves on without it, All of them too busy with their lives to realize, Something is lost from their lives How has it come to this? That this being lives amongst us unnoticed? Do they know of its existence? Or is it forgotten on purpose? For once “it” was a he or a she but definitely one of them, He was once popular amongst them for he was their friend, Part of their daily lives and part of their society, He mattered to them like they did to him. They were close, a team, one family, But time drifted them physically apart, Will they remember him? Or forget him like the rest? He tries to remain with them through virtual reach, But he slowly slips from mind and thought, He’s now no longer part of them, Only someone they once knew. Even when time rejoins them, He’s no longer good enough for them, He‘s no longer of use to them, no longer a part of them, Slowly it slips into the shadows, watching knowing where it now belongs.
