To the familiar stranger

Natasha Harris - September 1, 2020
Listen to this article

Your name is a sad one,

[Probably?]

Because all you do is cry

And shout…

And cry…

 

I wish I knew who you were

[Probably?]

But there’s only sadness

And a long dead

Sense of being forgotten.

 

I used to cry with you

[Probably?]

Til the tears made an ocean

And I drowned

In the salt and pain.

 

I want to get to know you

[Definitely!]

Or do I want to reme…

Remendar? Mander?

To un-forget!
