In Memoriam of a Broken Family

Remembered the 1940s, the season of the holocaust.
Six million irons, disjointed from their ores
Were forged in bottomless pits of anvils.
The swarming bees in a ceremonious buzzing
Were uncoupled from their hives through Reichsbahn.
However, a tensed, stale wind of discord swivel
On the creeks of Dachau, Auschwitz, Treblinka
And other shores of darkness.
Never shall the bloody sky efface again

A Language Without Words

I. 
they say 
there exist languages without words
without syllables yet pronounced,
like the sharp clatter of fork and spoon and knife against each other
at dinners in our family.
a vase shattered to the floor last night
at an hour way past our bedtime.
sister and i know that only one room in the house is embellished with a vase

Never Broken Family Again

He tried hard not to break away
But could not keep them together
After all, he would never again stay
So he left in search of life better

Like scattered leaves after a storm
Was the root of family foundation
Aching high hearts were born
To play their games of destruction

Their home became colorless rainbow
Dad said he wouldn't return again
So with meager

Another Broken Family

They had to tear down the building
They were cookin up the meth
They had to relocated the children
What a damn shame that it is.

They had to take the adults
down to the county jail
they had to take all the children
To a cps kind of hell

Another broken family
Another broken life
Damn I hate this broken world
I wish we could

Broken Family

Despite the cries
Despite the lies
Despite the separation
The suffer you caused
The tears that came down running into an ocean
The laughter that has been whipped out
The voice unheard
The right…taken…
The will to let go, to not hang on to us…
Despite…despite… 
Despite…
Despite the memories, to look at the pictures
To bear holding a photo album
To bear flipping its pages
To bear

A Broken Family With a Broken Heart

I'm here... 
wishing I had you in my life...
again.

You were my father...
my daddy....
the one I looked up to.

But you lost my respect...
that day....
the day you left....
to never return.

Divorce...
I never knew the term
when I was a littl'un,
but it had become my life.
I was living it... and didn't know it.

My parents... divorced.
When you left, 
my family was

Broken Family

Family can be great,
But Family also can have much hate
We sit around and wait
For the day to recreate

The love we used to have
It will never be the same
You said you would come, 
but never came

Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas
& that was one thing on my wish list 

You don’t care about the important things in

A Broken Family

Many people know the key points to having a HAPPY HOME.
Many people fail to realize, the key points to maintaining a HAPPY HOME.
Just because the bare necessities are being provided, does that make it a 
HAPPY HOME?
When people are smiling on the outside, does that make the inside of the HOME 
HAPPY?
 Are the smiles,

The Picture of the Broken-Family Through An Innocent's Eyes

She stands there – in front of the court
Between Mom – Dad, and wonders…

Here is Mom - she will marry a rich man
And calls him, “husband”
Will “Mom’s husband” love her as Dad does?

Here is Dad - he will marry a pretty woman.
And calls her, “wife”
Will “Dad’s wife” love her as Mom does?

She stands there -
