Happy family

My father didn't come
my mother never came back
my brother didn't want me
to start
My father didn't know my name
my mother stepped on my heart
my brother left me alone
in the past.

My father was a shadow
my mother was a ghost
my brother was an illusion
I needed to hold
my father died
my mother got lost
and the illusion of my brother
simply broke.
