Where Were You

By hyargo

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Where were you all those years? Why weren't you where you were supposed to be? You should have been in my life, Your arms around me, Bouncing me on your knee. Where were you? Did you get your feelings hurt, When I declined another visit at Christmas? When the last time we spoke was last Christmas, I hardly thought you would notice If I were there or not. Did you even wonder about me? Did you wonder where I was? And the last time I saw you, I could see you felt ignored. I almost felt guilty, but not quite. It was clear you wanted to say something, But you didn't quite have the balls. Were you afraid I'd ask again? Where were you all those years? It's too late. I've moved on. I don't need you in my life now. I know who is important to my world. I have a long list, but you are not on it. Do you even know what you missed? Do you care? Where were you? You've missed so much.I wrote this just this moment. It has not been edited. It is what came rolling out of my head. Be gentle in your opinion. It's still fresh and raw.
