By: Poet Keri br September 30,2008 br Freeverse br Age 11 br br From a laughing, happy, little girl, br To a dead stone statue filled with tears, fear, and sadness. br As my parents part, br Simply saying a goodbye. br I wonder which one will it be this time... br br Dad left last time, will the new Dad or Mom leave... br I turn away, fearing the next moments of my life. br Mom takes my shoulders and tells me it will be alright. br Does that mean the new Dad will leave? br I hope so as my heart tightly breathes with anxiousness. br br But Mom steps away into her room, grabs her suitcase, and as she leaves the house, says a good-bye to me. br My eyes swell with tears as I try to hold them in, watching Mom wave farewell. br Now that Dad left before, and now Mom is leaving, I feel myself breaking apart into two pieces. br I cry myself to sleep every night since. br I have been seperated. br br I have no one but an angel from heaven in the sky watching over me. br Since these two good-byes were said to me, my body has fallen apart in two pieces. br But after those two good-byes, the people who said them to me, they've taken each of my 2 parts. br At least now I can relieve my heart, knowing that my sould in two parts still belong to them.
