Rejected

He sat in the corner

Staring into space

Sadness and grief

Evident on his face

His parents rarely spoke to him

He never knew why

No matter what he did

They were never satisfied

He didn’t know of love

Because they’ve never cared for him

His parents were never there

He was often all alone

There was always a mysterious “something”

Standing in between them

It prevented his parents

From getting close to him

 Then today he found out

What that something was

It was lingering memories

Of their long dead son

 He overheard them talk

Of how much they loved that boy

Nothing could replace him

Not even his clone…
