I.
I don't know you anymore
I don't know your friends
or your place.
II.
I missed
forgot
stopped saying hello when we passed
on the street.
III.
I heard
there was a man
and he was your father.
IV.
I heard his heart
gave up on him
only forty-eight
and gone in a flash.
V.
It's not beautiful,
and we're not heroes.
VI.
And now I regret leaving you
you must have others to turn to but
look what I've done.
VII.
It hurts for you in my chest,
It goes still for you in my mind.
VIII.
But you'll never
accept help from me
not now
because you don't know me
anymore.
