I watch him leave, yelling his fathers name Rushed steps that only mean another day gone I wanted this… I must know that it is true— But each day that he’s here I wonder what went wrong I wanted a better place but perhaps it’s too soon But her voice, I’ve seen, has become soft The faint whispers of loud screams became something I forgot Perhaps I am too naive- too gullible Perhaps I have fallen into the trap of words Perhaps it’s getting better, but I remember the ghost of what was And what is to be Is this a right thing to believe? To dream? Perhaps I imagined it all
