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”
