About 4 years ago you both looked me in the eyes and told me you'd never get a divorce.

About 3 years later, it happened

You told her that you weren't happy, she cried you cried, done.

One doesn't just... Stop loving someone after 22 years of being together

The bond that you two had between your love was everlasting

I remember how you would brush her hair and she would cuddle up against your husky figure

I miss hearing you say "I love you," to someone besides me

I miss coming home to a family

I don't miss the broken home, which belongs to the now broken family

I don't go home much, why go home when there isn't anything waiting.

You left to live in New Hampshire with your best friend of 26 years.

I stayed with Dad.

I miss you,

The other day I found a picture, of you feeding her the glossy white wedding cake

Her neon blue eyes looked up at yours

You were grinning, you were both so, in love.

What happened?

I don't know

Just tell me,

I don't know,

Please...

I did it for you guys.

What the ****.

I didn't ask for this.

At first, I told you it didn't bother me.

Probably because, it didn't.

I couldn't wait for her to leave.

But now, I just want my mother.

I want my mother, and my father.

I want to know that you two sleep in the same room

I want to know that you love each other

I want to know that this won't happen again

Even though, it's too late now.

You're there.

You're here.

I'm stuck in the middle.

And I'm not happy.

You promised.
No hard feelings, ****.
