Poetry: Left behind

by Lori Salsgiver

Created on: October 20, 2010

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?
