Didn’t
Didn’t hear your voice calling my name
Didn’t turn around
And didn't get off the exit ramp
I know how much you wanted children
As did I
But sometimes our biology prevents it
We tried
We failed
I know how much you wanted me to be someone who I was not
Richer
Smarter
Taller
Thinner
I know how much it hurt you
But not once
Didn’t hear your voice
And
Didn’t answer your plea
Didn’t hear your voice
And
Didn’t forget it either
Didn’t turn off
And didn’t turn the key
Didn’t hear your voice
And didn't ask for more
