When you turned and walked away, did you notice I was crying?
When you choose drugs over me, did you notice I was crying?
When you beat me for no reason, did you notice I was crying?
When you forgot to feed me, did you notice I was crying?
When you forgot my Christmas gifts, did you notice I was crying?
When you broke my favorite toy, did you notice I was crying?
When you choose to stay out all night, did you notice I was crying?
When you forgot to wash my clothes, did you notice I was crying?
When you hit my brother after drinking, did you notice I was crying?
When you woke up too late to take me to school, did you notice I was crying?
When all the kids made fun of my dirty hair, did you notice I was crying?
When God saved me from you, did you notice I was crying?

Remember Me
Do you remember me?
Do you even know who I am?
Because I know who you are
You are the one who never
came to
