![]() The Last TimeA Poem by Awaken the Sleepwalker![]() This was my first attempt at a list poem. I don't feel great about it, but I don't dislike it.![]() The last time I saw my best friend was a year ago The last time I left my house was shortly before that The last time I slept in a warm bed was two summers
ago at grandmas And the last time I played was too long ago to
remember.
The last time I cried was today The last time I screamed, the same The last time I asked for help and warmth no one heard And the last time I was heard, it sent shivers down my
mother’s spine.
I can’t remember the last time I could tell my mother
was happy I can’t remember the last time that daddy was sober I can’t remember the last time daddy was himself, not
a monster And I can’t remember the last time my
little body wasn’t covered in bruises.
I can’t remember the last time anyone
spoke to me and not of me I can’t remember what it’s like to be I can’t remember if I said adieu And I can’t remember how I died, but
I certainly have a clue. © 2012 Awaken the Sleepwalker |
