Forget To Remember

Remember...remember...remember... How is it so hard to remember, mother remember I exist I, your daughter How is it so hard to remember me I, your son us, your children Susan and Scott Mother...or should we even call you that You haven't bothered to remember our names the day we were born The only time you choose to acknowledge us is when you're awake long enough to ask for us to buy you your liver failure and portable cancer Do you even remember the promises you made to us at 3 that you were always going to be there that you'd never falter Where did you go Why haven't you came back Do you even remember those long days and endless nights where we'd square off for verbal fights cause of the pain your vindictive self inflicted upon our innocence Do you even remember when I said I hate you Do you even remember when I said I despise you Do you even remember when we said we loathe you Do you once even look back to when we last said we love you Can you recognize your own voice when you speak But why would you bother Mother...or should we just call you Mary A small gift to know we bothered to remember your name Why we try is just a distant memory We try to remember to forget about you while you forget to remember us Susan and Scott the children who apparently matters not
