Come Back SoonA Poem by Jennifer Pennington
Where have you gone to?
I find myself asking you this question in many ways, in many forms Who have you become? I cannot seem to recognize you anymore Some moments with you Are like deja vu Memories come to me as clear as day As perfect as can be I see myself standing on your feet as a child while you danced around the kitchen with me I see myself staying up late sharing cookies and soda with you while we watched the sci fi channel I see how happy you were on all the holidays And out of all the visions i've come to see Nothing compares to just how much I miss seeing you Your feet are crippling you now You can barely walk anymore You still can't sleep but thats because your absorbed in video games and tuning out the world You don't smile anymore and when you do, its just not the same And the holidays just aren't as enjoyable without you there Where have you gone to? I sure as hell would like to know © 2010 Jennifer Pennington |
