he acts like he doesn't remember now
when he burned down and cried
curled up in a ball
and unable to move or
even make a sound

He acts like he doesn't remember now
and as if we weren't there
to watch
as our own world crumbled
and fell
we cried on the inside
behind him
never letting a tear out
but he acts like he doesn't
know
but for surely he does

now we act like we don't know
and its not hard to
tell

that all has fallen with him
and we are unable to watch
