Lamentation



"Please--Please! It's me!"
He cries as tears stream down his face
"It's me, don't you remember?"
His inquisitive words ring out

She pushes him aside
"You are not important."
The low hiss errupts from her mouth

He weeps to see the hate in her eyes
"But--But I love you!"
He cries in an anguished tone

She simply says one thing
"I love no one."
The words sting all near her

He sobs to see her like this
I did this to her
He thinks in a sorrowful way

He sobs out again, hoping to reach her
He wearily calls to her
"But...Surely you remember your father."
