Divorce wrote when I was 13

All of our memories,
Put under cover.
You smiled like it was fine
That we were leaving with our Mother.

Was I really that bad of a daughter?
Why couldn't you love me enough to stay?
What happened to our family?
Your stocking is missed every Christmas Day.

You left us for your new life.
You didn't want us to be your kids.
This wasn't fair, we had it perfect.
Now I only see you on weekends.
THINK ABOUT IT:
Is it fair to see you and Mom fight?
Is it fair to hear you both screaming at night?
Do you think it's fun for me to reassure Hope
That you still love us, even though I think you don't?

I loved you.
You should've stayed Dad.
Now you've missed me. I'm all grown up.
It hurts to even say this but,
I needed you growing up.

Parents breaking up is confusing & hard on children,just like parents arguing & fighting all the time. i suppose situations need to be weighed up whether it's worth staying together or not. It sounded like a difficult time for you then & even now at times. Being a parent shouldnt just stop luke that hey. sorry to hear that :) keep writting & stay strong!

Oh, thank you! :) I wrote this nine years ago. Found some old notebooks and didn't wanna lose what I wrote. I am surprised someone read this. Thank you for reading this. Means a lot! Cheers!
