His eyes,
Lifeless and cold,
They stared at me
"You have no idea
Who I am
Do you?"
The words pained him
I knew that much
I racked my brain
Painfully
Causing a headache
Trying to concentrate
Trying to remember.
But I drew back nothing.
I couldn't even remember why i was there
Or the last time I talked to my mom
All I remembered was his question and his eyes
His defeated eyes
When I shook my head no
~
"You have no idea
Who I am,
Do you?"
I watched his eyes flick over my face
And waited for a single glimps of recognition.
No one will ever know
How hard it stabbed me when he finally shook his head
Indicating that he
Did not remember me
After we were chased away
From our safe place
And one of those
Damn protesters
Threw my little guy onto the ground
He didn't remember me.
He asked me where his mom was
Her funeral was two weeks ago.
How could I tell him that,
Or that I was the love of his life and he was mine
How could I tell him that now?
