Forgetfulness

Lost... I am dormant on the ground In a dark alley not to be found. A board opposite me writ in red, Lifeless I am, please no tip, money I have, but my soul deserted me, thats why I am here. Useless... When a passer by stared at me heartless, how lucky you are old lady, the courage you have, to just sit daily on that floor, With blankness in your eyes, deafness in your ears, motionless you are, mindless so far, faceless, even tearless, not one tear to shed over your soulless to cure it's pain. Old lady... Your emptiness and soundless will leave you homeless. Why today you specifically want to remain dreamless. Your nakedness is seen, your spirit turned against you dissolved into the running stream. Shameless... Tell me please, look at me? Why are you here not there? Why do you stare, its not fair? Answer me, how long have you Made this space your home? Aren't you the one living In that elderly home?. Forgetfulness... Everybody is searching for you they need to find you harmless. What shall I tell them? Your going away never to comeback and stay? Dizziness... Say it, she just shook her head. Please sing a song while walking back to where you belong. I am the passer by remain strong hold my hand, your lover wants you back, he still is sustained on his hospital bed. He loves you, begs you to comeback to see you one more time, before wishing you a goodbye. She remained homeless, as nothing will ever feel the same. Therese Bacha 7 August 2013

Home is definitely what we make it..Emptiness ..hollowness..fear ..all these will make of us outcasts in our own home.Forgetfulness..can lead to harm..but with someone beside us ..We can make it to stay safe..and all will be easier when we remember we re loved.Heartwrenching poem.Im sure that when the time comes for forgetfullness..God will remember us and protect us.He s the greatest lover of all..Big hugs
