"Remember?" 1-25-2010

Remember that time you blamed me?
That night in our home…..
97’ and fall
Up against a wall, and you blamed me
Oh don’t you remember?


Remember that time you left me?
That day in his home….
98’ and winter
Splintered with your lies, and you left me
Oh but don’t you remember?


Remember that time you told me?
Springtime by the road….
14 years, and tears oh they rolled
When you told me
I know you remember….


Remember that time I stayed?
That time with the kids
So you could go
(Where did you go?)
Selfish seas of everlasting memories


Remember that night I screamed?
As he threw his belt; ripped my seams?
...Oh but you have to remember


Locked in a door
It could swing either way and….
I’m still stuck in the key hole; no key.


Wetting my bed with dreams of reality,
Too scared to climb out and face the truth
So I dusted my dolls, Remember?


Lined them all up in a row
Like it would make a damn difference to the world
I would lie in the grass and pretend
I was somewhere far away and happy
...Because I wasn’t.




Cry about my ugly face;
My life all to waste.
Swallowed those pills because I was sick of not feeling…
I guess all the memories had numbed my weak soul.
Don’t you remember?
