unexpected
You left this house so broken.
Walked away like nothing.
Made the decision not thinking,
of the consequences.
Of the pain you had caused.
Slithering back like a snake.
Pushing aside the broken pieces,
thinking everything would go away.
But normal will never be the same.
I’ll never look at you the way I did before,
will always have a bit of hate for you.
But I know you wont go away.
So we’ll sit in this mess for now.
Hoping that one day
we have the strength to pick up the pieces.
But only time will tell.
I’ll forgive you but I’ll never forget.
For home is now just a house.

I wrote this piece because sometimes a parent just can't do their job. They mess up the whole house and then expect us kids to be just fine, when in fact we are not fine.
