Today, I replayed some of the memories in my mind Trying to figure out The point that you withdrew The point you decided to hate, resent, reject instead of love. And sifting through the memories I hear you laugh- you sing - you smile your voice just as familiar as mine As mine and then you shift- feel like a stranger One who is angry, resentful, closed. I feel your unkindness Your desperation- See your pain Discarding relationships like wilted petals from a daisy Scattering them left and right- with no thought to what destruction your actions cause Not caring When a little water- a little sun- a little conversation could have nurtured - enhanced encouraged love And I’m left- wondering why? Trying to make sense of why you have chosen A world that takes And doesn’t care for you Only for what they can get from you A little water- a little sun- a little conversation could have nurtured And still I’m here for you. I wait for you.
