REMEMBER
REMEMBER ME ?
Almost a woman mystical princess like Jasmine
without the Genie 10 and likely bi-polar though
too early to know for sure Cluster of symptoms
chased you here and there Mother psychotic
beautiful & blackeyed like you What about the Dad ?
you ask Did he disappear too ?
You arrive at sessions with a guard who pries
fingers off of my arm You laugh hysterically Why are you so calm therapist ?
I am trying to hold you fast & cling long & hard
Maybe one day you’ll cave and drag me home behind you
