[khg] had to

i hope you grew up
with the understanding
that it was for the best
not a matter of not caring
a token of mistrust
mixed with concern

are you still out there
do you still listen
for the screams in the night
of your mother and father

maybe they dont remember
what your name was
or what you could have become
maybe it was just a dream
waking up sweating
screaming
fighting for life

do you understand
some accidents
are not the accidents
they are supposed to be
but its easier than explaining
