Mommy left Daddy
"It's okay" I told myself "they're just mad.'"
Mommy didn't return for a couple of weeks.
"It's okay" I told myself "mommy is still mad"
A couple of weeks later, mommy came back
only to take my sisters and I away
I was only 4.

It's been two years.
"It's okay" I told myself "mommy and daddy are taking a break"
....Yeah, a long break.
Mommy started drinking from the bottle.
Mommy has been mean to me lately.
I was only six.

We moved for two more years.
I learned a new word today DIVORCE.
I haven't seen Daddy in a while.
Every night, I wish upon a star, hopping mommy and Daddy would forgive each other.
That never happened.
I was only 8.

Is it wrong that I still want my parents to get back together.
At an age like this?
They say that they are friends now.
But those times, that they have, when they're laughing and joking around...
I wish things were like that again.

Is it wrong that i still cry every time,
they argue, yell, and fight?
That I still try to keep the few
good memories of us together alive?

Is it wrong that I
still wish for them to
get back together? At
an age like this?

answer, no
It's okay to cry, to wish, to plead to an unknown force.
For things that you know will never happen...
But hey...
I'm only 15 after all
