My Broken Family

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2010 with permission of the Author.

My mom and dad have been married 20 years long,
I just wish she would tell us what we've done so wrong
to make her walk out the door.
Does she just not love us anymore?
I don't know why she has done us this way.
I wish she chose to stay.

The bad thing is,
my older sis
left the next day.
Things are just not going the right way,

It's just my younger brother, sister, dad, and me at the house,
It's quiet as a mouse.
All we do is just sit around
without making a sound.
we have so many things on our mind,
so many questions to the answers we'll never find.
We've told our mom so many times we want her to stay,
but she still chooses to walk away.

My older sister stays with her boyfriend
way out in Millen,
She visits on Sundays
and goes back to him on Tuesdays.

We're all in so much pain,
but it's driving me insane.
I don't know why life is such a blur.
Can't she see how much we love her.

I really miss us being a family.
I just wish things would go back to the way they used to be,
but my dad says it'll take some time,
and everything will be just fine,
so as the days go by,
I look up at the sky.
and wonder why my life has turned out this way.
Maybe I'll find the answer someday.
