Knowing you once
Deprime of your life
Memories forever staying
Had no idea of perceptions you had
They said you were always a nice man
Took time and effort accomplishing what you could
The one I knew had purposely done in the easiest act to follow

How can I know so much
About you, I met just once
You seemed sad to me as a child
You were always hospitalized

You made her feel
Hiding in closed cupboards
Pictures of you on the wall
Faded glasses of charcoal gray
A faded out brown cotton couch

I wasn’t told when I was young
Kept me from feeling alone
Truth revealed like rain on car windows
The same gray room haunting my wide awake body

Forgotten you will always tread the halls
The food tasted stale but I heard you call
Broken mirrors on one open side
Hit the cue to pocket your wisdom
Old relics of parental appreciation
Some accomplishments done without hesitation

Where did you go
Saw you once you were gone
Why did you do it
Leave us all alone
How come I feel this way
Nothing has made me feel done
Who put you up to it
Why am I writing this song?
