this night
is lost in a winter wonderland
of hypocrisies
and lies
a babe is being torn in two
by opposites
that know no better
other than what feels right
for them
false smiles
and promises of love
offerings of
"if you need me, i'm here"
that aren't honored
i've grown accustomed
to the falseness
i accept the dishonest
hugs of promises
that won't be kept
while offering the same
my back aches
my heart has grown wearier
still
and i'm left here
with a baffled mind
and the realization
that family
doesn't live up to the hype
of what family
really is.

i love my family
