I saw you this morning, well the used to be
I wondered if you remembered back then
You looked so peaceful, so youthful, and intact
I remembered how much I wanted you back.
What happened to you?
Where did you go?
I miss the first you so.
Since you are me, you know.
Funny how time changes things
Changes the inner and shows on the outer
I still feel the times my heart was shattered.
I lost you somewhere between worries and so sorry
You left without any notice, in such a hurry.
People stood by but not by you
You found yourself as the only one who knew.
Stories out of the mouth of your caregivers,
Were all lies and lines from their distorted truths
Truths that barely have any in them.
Pain became the plot.
You really missed out on a lot.
The simply being a kid,
Carefree and happy, encouraged and loved
Cherished and respected
Instead overlooked and under cherished.
I remember how much I wanted you back
What happened to you?
Where did you go?
I really miss the “first” you, so!
