When I was young, my parents were the best,
They used to say, " I'll always be here."
and cradle my little baby body as sleep took over.
Later on my little baby body grew,
They used to say, " You can be anything you want to be and we'll be there to back you up." they'd kiss my head and pat my shoulder as my little head didn't comprehend what it meant.
Later on my little head was starting to become bigger with knowledge,
They used to say, " With an attitude like that, you'll get no where." they'd yell at me and slap the table as they shook their big wise heads in disgrace.
Later on my knowledge filled head was just the right size,
My father used to tell me, " Isn't it time for you to move out yet?" my mom now lived with someone else and my pretty little eyes couldn't believe what they saw.
Later on my pretty little eyes had to adjust to the darkness of the house when I came home late,
I used to say, " Is nobody home?" and listen to the imaginary echo whilst I close my pretty little eyes to disconnect from my knowledgeable mind and try to remember what they used to say before they left me with nobody home. |
