Tell me, boy.
Was it who you saw when I crashed?
Caught me when the ground came too close, too fast?
Tell me, boy.
Was it you who wiped my tears?
Showed me how to face my fears?
Tell me, boy.
Was it you who dressed my wounds?
Pushed me through?
Tell me, boy.
I swear, I can’t remember.
I don’t remember you.
Tell me, boy.
When did you change?
Fill your heart with hate?
Tell me, boy.
What did you do?
You go through?
Tell me, boy.
Where have you went?
Left the you I know you’ve been?
Tell me, boy.
I swear, I can’t remember.
I don’t remember you.
I don’t remember this you.

This piece shows the struggle of someone who has loved another and now watched them change. The person they once loved is not acting like the person they remember, and they wonder if they just never saw it and it was there all along.
