I saw them
I watched
As they played
With anoughter child
As they ate dinner
As they slept
They left me alone
Un noticed
Never said my name
Never spoke to me
Just the other child
I don't even know the other child
But she sleeps in my room
Plays with my toys
Cuddles my parents
I fear they have forgotten me
Replaced me with this other child
I don't like this other child
She is making my parents look old
I remember
I remember her being born
They didn't talk with me then, eighter
I remember
When they stopped talking with me
When they stopped hugging me
When they never again said my name
I was young
I still am
But then i was younger
Although i feel the same
I must have been younger
Ive seen snow more than four times since then
Snow is only once a year
But i remember
It was cold
And windy
We were waiting for a train
My dad always said not to go too close to the edge
I was playing
There was a line
I was bpuncing a ball
As close to the line as i could
My mommy wasn't watching
The ball fell
It went on the track
And down a drain
It was a special ball
My daddy gave it to me
I hopped down
And put my arm in the drain
I held on to the ball
But my arm got stuck
My mommy saw
She screamed at me
She screamed and screamed
I had disobeyed my daddy
I had been bad
Then-
A noise
A big noise
A train
I woke up
The next morning
In my bed
My parents were crying
I apologized
Over and over
They didn't listen
It must have been really bad, what I did
They never spoke of me again
But they always cried
Every night
Then, the other child came
The girl
They called her Rose Mariee
My name
That is my name
She took it
She replaced me
I don't like the other girl
I spoke to her
She listened to me
It was nice
I told her
That she could make mommy and daddy happy
If she went in the sea
She didn't say anything
But the next day, she went to the pier
Daddy went too
She jumped in
She couldn't swim
Mommy always told me not to jump off the pier
She would get told off
That would be good
She sank
Quite quickly
Daddy jumped in after her
The water bubbled
Red
A fin
Hit the surface
I laughed
That night
Mommy was crying
Very much
She didn't talk to daddy, or to the other child, Rose Mariee
It was good
It would only be better if she spoke to me
Daddy and Rose Mariee spoke to me
Then, somthing funny happened
Their were two of mommy
One of them was talking to me
She was happy
Laughing
Hugging me and daddy and Rose Mariee
But the other one
The other one scared me
It wasn't talking
Or moving
It was hanging
From the banister
By the neck
But i don't care
Now my family is back together
Mommy
Daddy
Rose Mariee
And Me.
