Do I Exist

Would it be so bad if I didn’t exist? Maybe if I didn’t exist, 
		then you could live life how you would like to?
	I don’t see why I can’t exist, You make it seem like I’m not actually 			there. You pull everyone away from me it seems. 
Why would you do that? You used to say you loved me… 
		Where did that go? I can’t see it anymore
	Certainly not in how you don’t talk to me at all, or do your best to
		alienate me. What happened to the love 
you used to feel? Nay, I don’t want you back, not after this,
		this saddens me, more than a year and a half,
	 I existed. And it has taken a single day to destroy that. I used to
		think that you would be forever; but I can see
I was wrong. It seems like you’ve pulled others away from
		me; she won’t talk to me anymore. It seems 
	like they won’t talk to me anymore; what happened?	What happened 
		to the person that wanted to be friends ever after?
I’m not sure she’s there anymore, I’m not sure that she 
		ever existed? Thank you, for what you didn’t 
	teach me; because I learned that lesson well. Thanks for listening 
		even though you won’t say thank you. Thanks
 or being there, as much as you could. Now you’ve disappeared
		and I can’t tell why. But it makes sense. What.
	Has. Happened?
