I want to scream and sound upset
Make a scene and not seem obsessed
But you won't even notice me
Or look my way
I'll not be mean, or too obscene
Still you won't even notice me
Or hear what I say
You hurt?  I hurt, simple truth
The unseen in between
The dirt, and simple truth
Apologies and offered hand
Ignoring me right where I stand
Its not fair, forgive forget
Your empty stare, and I'm upset
I regret and want to reset
But you stamp me like your
burnt out cigarette
And I really don't miss
Your company, or any of that
Your kisses and wishes
Or any of that
This is my face now look
Guilty pardons, a dirty book
Dessert gardens, Flowers replaced
By what you've took
The color of my face
The peace within my space
Feelings unseen but spilt
All over the place
This is the last time I'll ever say
What I feel the bast I can
Anyway
It doesn't matter to me where you lay
Just don't be cold and walk away
I'm done, finished can't go on
But you don't care

The coldness in this poem can be felt by this reader. Some of us have the ability to punish without ever saying a word.
You seem to have been punished enough for your crime.

There does seem to be an unbridgeable chasm between you two.  Just don't be hard on yourself.  Joyce

This was wonderful bob!! Very well done. I felt every word of this. Hit me hard. Very enjoyable read!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

aggrivation,
