What Is Your Name
For the things I cannot fathom
They play, repeatedly within me
Like you
I'm so sorry I do not know you well
I witness your tears as you work
I feel your struggle being alone
I hear it in your voice
Much like me
What do I remember?
Your shaky voice
Saying tenderly, "I loved my mother so much"
So much pain inside you
All you need is love
I'm so sorry
I do not know your name
Though you left the room filled with grief
These people, without humanity, repeat
"He needs not to cry"
As I witness,
My heart crumbled within
What kind of human is no human at all?
A creature with no heart
When all someone needed was a hug
What a shame you are
For he only needed help
Whoever you are
Your no one i need to know
