You Forgot My Name Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

You never picked me up
When they knocked me down
You never sought me out
When I stopped coming around
You never welcomed me
When I was lost and found
You never lay with me
When I was feeling cold
You never spent time with me
As I was growing old
Well all you ever wanted
Was to being standing in my shoes
When all you ever wanted
Went up in smoke
Now you are lying in the ashes
Now you know it’s real
I would have given you everything
What made you have to steal
I am sure your still playing your games
What I can’t understand is
How is it that you forgot my name
