He Can'T Provide What You Want

The sorrow in her heart is doubled in mine
If only life were recorded she would see
ALL the damage was done by he
with me as a cushion safegaurding us three

He walks the earth as if it were his
he may pass you daily with no regretts
This is a sad fact and its beyond my grasp
as you and your sister are my now my future and my past

I'll be there forever and a day 
but please dont let your mind runaway
The answers you seek the questions you hold
perhaps have no answers or may just leave ur heart cold

You both are smart and beautiful, friendly and lots lots more
Deservant always for acceptance love and happiness
Its up to you to walk through that door
Sadly I have and always will be here to pick his mess up off the floor

This was beautifully, yet sadly, penned. The power & struggles of family. I understand this all too well. Wonderful job!
