I Was Never There
Once when she was falling
I had not paid attention to her crying,
once when she was calling
I was not there...
My mind was not here,
and I just did not see.
I did not see
when she was falling
I was not there
for her crying
I just was not here
when my name it was she had been calling.
For me she was calling,
and I just could not see
and for her I was not here,
while she was falling.
during her crying,
I was never there...
I was never there,
where she was calling.
and when she was crying
I just could not see
that she was badly falling
I was not here....
My mind was never here,
my mind was never there,
while she was falling,
and while she was calling.
I refused to see,
and I ignored her crying...
Ignoring her crying,
I was not here.
I just couldn't see,
nor my mind was not there
while she was calling,
and while she was falling...
I was not there,
for her calling...
and during her falling,
I was not here...
clearly, I did not see...
