Where have you gone?

Why have you abandoned me?

Betrayed me?

We had a deal. Didn’t we?

Have to keep up appearances,

We have to be seen to be in control.

It was easy to convince people,

When I knew where the money was

When I could dress myself

And remember to eat.

No one suspected

No one would guess.

But you go away for too long

Questions are asked,

Suspicion is shown on faces

As I can’t remember where I need to go.

Helpful hands and whispered voices.

“But I know my birthday“ I hear myself cry.

Strangers appearing in my spaces.

You let them in,you have let me down.

I just want to be at home.
