To my 16 year old self,
you mattered,
She felt slighted by your cool

She never knew why
you didn't respond,
and she felt an emotional fool

She saw you as tortured and lonely
She saw your pain and need for a friend
She thought you wanted connection
She thought her heart she could lend

To my 26 year old self,
you were a wildcard,
Someone who may have matured

She kept seeing your name
on other friends' posts,
and needed to reach out to be sure

She dreamed you were still poetic,
She dreamed you might be open to share
She aspired to do it diifferent this time
Sh aspired to leave the past in its lair

Sadly enough, nothing's changed
The brick wall of indifference still stands
All this has done is remind her
why she never put her heart fully in your hands

You were never worth the rollercoaster
You were never worth the concern
She can't take back all the poems and pain you caused
though it's better she never got burned...

I like the way you used the span of the ages.
