Deja Vu

Deja Vu

A Poem by Annabelle Lee

I awaken on the couch
And roll over
Dark hair a bit messy
Big black hoodie
And a pair of boxer shorts

And all of a sudden
I am taken back
To another time
Another place
In my past

I wake up and roll over
I'm in that basement
That served as our home
It contained my soul
For oh, so long

There she lay on the couch
Her dark hair is messy
She wears a big hoodie
And the TV is still on

I stared into the face 
Of the woman, who
Was my whole world
A woman who,
Was my own mother

I admired the way
Her ponytail let loose
A few wisps of hair
Framing the face, that was beautiful
At the time

A face that I thought
Looked sort of like mine
She awakens and smiles
"Hey baby what's new?"

And as I was set free from this Deja Vu 
I remember my next lines
So clear, so distinct
I remember saying,
"Mommy, look, I'm just like you!"
Please
Free me from
This 
Deja Vu
