Daddy Doesn't Remember

Daddy doesn't remember me.
Daddy doesn't remember Mommy.
Daddy doesn't remember his life.
He's stuck
In the year 1975,
Back when he was fifteen.
He still thinks his mom is alive.
He still thinks he's going to get beaten
For not being home.
And he still doesn't
Know himself.

Daddy doesn't remember me.
Daddy doesn't remember Mommy.
Daddy doesn't remember my sisters.
Daddy doesn't remember his life.
He's stuck
In his past.

And suddenly
He collapses.

"Daddy," I cry
Tears filling my eyes.
"Wake up!"

And after a while
After he lies there, lifeless
For over a half hour..

He wakes up.

"What happened?" He asks.

"Nothing Daddy."

Daddy didn't remember me.
Daddy didn't remember Mommy.
Daddy didn't remember my sisters.

But Daddy doesn't remember that.
