There is one who I have known not 
Non existent, absent, unaware
Unaware of the damage done, the songs unsung, and the heart unloved
There is one who I have scarcely named
A person blamed, yet unashamed 
No hand is reaching forth for reconciliation 
I remember not, the events that took place, an empty face, a small body stilled
A replacement rejected, a son defected
Dying, murdered
The pendulum swung favorably it seems 
Saved, enraged was the finder, the minder unforgiven
Vanished, banished was the minder, the son unknowing 
Missing, wishing to see the one he lived with not 
Unknowing
Emotions unfelt, a card un-dealt, a life lived without
Until, an eave was dropped, my heart froze, shocked
The unknown was known, the string of lies un-sewn
And my eyes were opened to the calamity
For I was an improper replacement, not 500 days spent
Before I was to be vanquished from this earth
My eyes now open, I gave up hoping
I was never to feel the love of my mother
Nor shall she feel the love of me
There is one who I have known not
And I am glad
