You Just Left...

That bum you saw is my father...

Mommy and Daddy

Are fighting again

I can hear them...

Under the gentle moonlight

 

 

Her eyes...

Began to deepen

Yet she smiles for us

With her blurred face

 

 

His face...

Angry and confused

Yet takes good care of us

With his warm voice

 

 

But why must he go?

Without saying anything

My mommy became silent

And died a few months after

 

 

It's all because of you, Daddy

I started to forget you In the past years

But why did I help you and wept for you?

When I saw you in the streets old and alone.

Aww, I can feel the sadness deep within this poem. Seeing the truth in a child's eye. Life can really be unfair sometimes... At one snap everything can really be bad and sad. Nice piece. Touching and just heartbreaking.
