Families Lost
I miss all the things I once took for granted
I miss the woman who loved me with all her heart
I miss the family I always wanted
Alas, it was only my fault that it all fell apart
I miss the children three
I miss the way they made me feel
I miss the way they caused I to reflect upon me
I miss feeling something so real
I miss everything I had
When their family, a part of, was I
I miss being their step-dad
Now most days, I wish I could die
A child of my own
A perfect family I had given her
A place we could finally together call home
Alas what was it all for
I miss watching them play
I miss the little things they used to do
I miss waking to them every day
Usually to screaming, but it was joyous too
I miss the way we would bicker and argue
We didn’t see eye to eye
Just like a real family would go through
My greatest pain, not truly understanding why
Why did I get to ever join this family
Maybe they cared
Maybe this feeling that is eating me
Maybe to, these feelings they once shared
