'moms' and Dad

I seem to wonder what happened to the meaning of love
I thought that ring was for commitment and union,
That no matter what, you’ll stay side by side and fight together
I don’t think he understands this, but somehow I’m always in the mix,
This is the same routine that happens:

‘I love you’ she says, I love Her back
. . . . . . . . Never seen again
‘Stop getting into trouble’ she says, I cry
‘I’m sorry’ he says, I accept
‘Do you like her?’ he asks, ‘Sure’ I say
‘I love you’ she says, I laugh
‘I’m leaving’ she cries, ‘leave then’ he yells
‘It’ll be okay dad’ I say, ‘Thanks’ he smiles

I like to think  that love dies quickly,
And is slow to come
One day you have it 
and the next it's gone

Choose one, I think
Choose one and don’t let go
Don’t choose? Then be alone
One way or another her heart is gone
Don’t choose, then the pain is done

Mine is never seen again
All is his not mine
She loves me, I’m confused
He’s hurt, she’s amused
She(mine). . . . .is never seen again
