One August Morning
One August morning, waiting for those birthday presents,
Then with no warning, down stairs came my parents,
And with them came a special surprise,
Our family was ending , due to lies.
Divorce was the word of choice,
Pain in my fathers voice ,
Too young to understand,
Why this was being planned,
Ever since this damn event,
My family has grown more distant.
Soon after mom was gone,
My eldest sis embarked upon,
A journey of her own.
My other sis went with mom,
All alone with dad .com,
Stayed with him a couple of years,
Soon followed the steps of my family peers,
I feel bad for leaving,
Left my father , alone and grieving,
Why should I be the one to stay,
When it comes down to it, were all grey,
One day maybe we,
Can once again be family.
