You slept through your alarm today -- I know.
I said something, but you rolled over.
You stood in the shower and cried for awhile -- I know.
I waited by the blue bath mat, or maybe it was green.
You forgot breakfast and left before we could go out together -- I know.
It’s okay, you have more important things to do today.
You came home late and let your black coat drop on the floor -- I know.
I put it on the chair by the door.
You sat on the couch for awhile watching the TV -- I know.
I was there until you couldn’t cry anymore.
You ignored the ringing phone -- I know.
I hate it too.
You skipped dinner again -- I know.
I stood in the kitchen to help you remember.
You stared at the picture by your bed -- I know.
I brought you something fun to play with instead.
I will always be there -- you know.
Even when I’m not.
