WHERE WERE YOU
Kelechi Nwa-Uwa
Where were you when she needed you?
When she cried desperately for your attention?
When depression reared its ugly head?
When you were all she had left?
Did you even hear her call out for you?
Did you care?
Did her gradual withdrawal even occur to you?
Did you notice the tear streaks? Red eyes?
The cracked voice? The broken spirit?
