In Between

The children

Gifts from God

were caught in between

the divorce

The loved both of their parents

but they too saw no love was left

They didn’t understand

A boy and a girl had their own stories to tell

They had a father who lost his ways of being a dad

Always drunk

A shadow of a man they called dad

A superhero dad turned to a stranger

A mom who was always crying

Always shouting at their father

Probably because there was no other

way of talking to him,he was hardly home

A man who never answered his phone

So they both went

with their mother

To their grandmother’s house

Them leaving turned a home into a house

They never said “Goodbye Dad”

because he wasn’t there

So they left him a note

On it they wrote “since you are not here neither will be,see you when you see us”
