Together is no more When supper is simply a food mix When voice changes are an expectation When the broken cannot be fixed And the time spent away becomes a sensation
Together is no more When vacations are a dread When the car rides are silent When the Little League stands are dead And the heads grow heavier
Together is no more When the bruises get darker When fuel comes in glass When walking home seems harder And everyone longs for the past
Together is no more When the therapy is snorted When the tree gets chopped When the nerves are shorted And the cycle cannot be stopped
Together is no more When a home becomes real estate When the composure breaks When the lover is now a mate And Lucifer raises the stakes
Together is no more When the candle burns out When hatred is the only sight When existence is a doubt And anger silences light
Together is no more When unity is tossed When fear is the only notion When family is lost And love is a mere distortion.
This was inspired by the experiences of someone I care for very dearly.
This is for anyone who has family issues, abusive significant others, demons, or silent suffering. You are not alone. There is help out there. It will be okay one day. Never stop believing.
