How can you touch without being
touched

How can you be moved if you've never
moved

How can you destroy if your not
destroyed

how can you tell you mother you've never been loved
how do you tell your mother that shes never made you smile
not even as a child, you would have remembered that

how do you forget the belt that scarred you, left a mark
how do you remember the hug when the same hand smashed your cheek
how do you read books when you've only been forced
how do you smile at someone and mean it if they've made you bleed

how can you rape some on when you have been raped
how can you yell when its what you've hated
how can you cry, looking for love, when its only caused you trouble

How do you love
when you've never been loved

None knows
but
you can
you will
you have to


Don't ask the past
ask the future

Ask

How can i be happy

not

how can i forget

How can i love

not ask

why didn't you
hold me
read to me
feed me
laugh at my jokes
smile at me
kiss me
love me

don't ask yourself what you don't know the answer to
