The Books Forgotten Face

The book's forgotten face It was the year 2017 Almost 30 year ago now I remember it like it was yesterday I was only about 6 or 7 School days was the worst Mum would drop me off and pick me up I didn't look forward to her at the end of the day You see., even though she was there Stood with other mothers Who, some of them weren't there either She wasn't there, only in a figure Her mind and her smile was else where Her eyes and her smile was at her hand Looking at this little square thing I remember bursting out of the door With a picture I'd done for her And she wasn't looking at me She was looking at her hand I said mummy mummy look I done a picture of a flower And your in the middle of it Look mummy.. as i tugged at her coat I was so excited But i got nothing She just kept looking at this thing As days and months went by I stopped talking to mummy Because it got me nowhere I realised by now she liked this thing Called facebook Where she read about other people Saw their pictures and stuff and liked them One day i drew mummy a picture I wasn't sure if she would look at it But i bet she wished now that she did She would have prevented her own death It was a picture of mummy With a knife in her head with the words... Goodnight facebook This is a bit datk..read with caution © 13 minutes ago
