I Know Now Why You Never Told Me Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

I know now why you never told me
Why was I so blind
Separated for so many years
I can still see the child in your eyes

I think you tried to tell me
Oh I was such a child
I listened but I could not hear
I had so many other cares

I left you there alone
I don't know how many times
You took me back until
We crushed one another's life

I know why you never told me
And why was I so blind
Separated for so many years
I can still see our child in your eyes
