Guards

You are not guardians, but simply guards. 

Who turned our memories into shards. 

You do not provide respite. 

Only spite. 

Unlike the ones on the other end of the line. 

Who carried us through, just fine. 

Until you decided-

That we are doomed to be divided. 

Society does not deserve us. 

Our families- they trust. 

That our tears are unreal. 

That innocence, we cannot feel.
