Today was her special day, My friend,
Yet I didn't wish her.
Although I knew,
The reasons why,
They're not so few

Once upon a time,
No celebrations garced my door,
No wishes, just silent air,
Even from my kin, no geniune care,
Masked smiles, that I couldn't agree more

Aesthetic gifts, Suprise parties,
Are just a forgotten dream,
Yet, here I stand hiding the pain,
Silent but not without refrain ...
