Mammy and daddy
how long will you drive us away from you?
busy on your chats on different couches
yet alone!
you buy her toys and cast me away
demanding I've intimacy with my books
how I wish they could chat with me
or throw back the smile I force on my face
mammy and daddy
when you remember me on my bed,
will I be waiting for that smile that warmed my heart when I learnt to calk you mum and dad
I wish the touch screen could touch my life too
the way it touched yours and woo
me away from the torment our loneliness has driven us to
away from the melancholy and the story my dear sister shares with her doll
every other day
