Longing to Be

Why do we want to wash away

Our memories of lives

That we had before but all came undone

We died

Those who loved us wished

Us to be back and with the help

Of ingredients bought on a child's allowance

Let their tears take shape and

Committed the ultimate sin

And they could only create but a shadow

A mere silhouette

Of what used to be

Now we fight to become one with our old selves

To become human

To finish what our loved ones began

We are longing
