Stained

I write this letter knowing I could be right But there is a part of me that puts up a fight I remember the fights you had while we were growing up I remember comforting mum after you left to cool off I remember my sister crying through it all I recall my brother with his fist to the wall Screaming in panic don't shout so much Why did you stay together through all that fuss We heard you two argue day and night What did we do to deserve such a plight Being the eldest I had no time to attest Just comfort them two and do my best I know you told us you stayed only for us But we never asked for this burden of trust We recall your tears and distraught shouts But why were we put through all those bouts? It's been 32 years and you both still live together I spoke to you today and you still regret losing forever . . .
