Remember?A Poem by Lunar LightningI used to wait for you to come home in that big rocking chair But that was so long ago Back when it was only you, mom, and me Before you had my sister, before our family was split in two Remember?
I used to think you were superman and as long as you were her I was safe But that was long ago Back when you and I were as close as could be Before you had too little time for me, before I thought you wouldn't be there to pick me up if I fell Remember?
I used to cry myself to sleep at night and wish you were there But that was long ago Back when you were a hero to me Before you pushed me to the edge of your mind, before our family grew Remember?
I used to look forward to spending my time with you It wasn't that long ago Back when even a little of your time was set aside for me Before you seemed to not know me, before I was alone But I suppose you wouldn't remember © 2009 Lunar Lightning |
