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
