Forsaken

You have forgotten who I am You, who held my hand And led me to the waters of the world When I was but a girl You did not teach me how to swim You, who knew me then And when the rising tide over swept me I was lost at sea You did not show me how to fly You, who watched me try And like a butterfly with broken wing I failed at such a thing I did not learn of love from you You, what could I do And so I drift, in static overload A stem without a rose You do not know what I’ve become You, what have you done And now, you do not want to know me now Nor I you, anyhow
