Your Birthday
by Joan SerratelliIt was your birthday
last week
and for the first time
since you were born
I forgot
I did not cry
over love lost
nor did you even
cross my mind
The day just came
and went
like any other day
Maybe I'm so hurt
by your actions
that I no longer care
They say that animals
forget their offspring
I say that they are lucky
I wish I could forget
all the hurt
you have given me
with no explanation,
you simply left my life
without ever saying goodbye
I could accept this better
if I knew what I did
I was never given that luxury
I was just kicked out
and tossed away
I cannot help
but wonder
if you ever even think
about me
as I think about you....
amd I always will.
