We Forgot You

The cracks are starting to reopen
They were hidden and forgotten
But they were always there waiting to reopen

A lump that can’t be swallowed
Blood ties look at the mess we made
Pushed to the back of our heads and locked away
Looked down on ignored
Insignificant, your worth is more than you’ll ever know
I remember the night you first told me
You wanted to leave us
The despair set in
Blinded selfish
We forgot you

I kept the letters safe
Covered up the mirrors
Scared of your own reflection
Vicious voices
Piercing eyes
We forgot you
The problem that cannot be mentioned, It has a name
It has a name
We forgot you
The problem that cannot be mentioned, It has a name
It has a name
It has a name
