my life as well as theirs (poems)

US and HER

I was always told

that you would never

love or treat anyone

like your kids unless

they were

well when you left us

and went to god knows

where you come back with

someone Else's kid

you treat her like

your own

we spent a day

with you

your girlfriend

and that child

you don't know

anything about us

all you know is them

did it occur to you

that your real daughters

were siting right

there actually missing our

dad

turned out he was

taking care of someone

Else's kid

what is the difference

between us and her?

what is the difference of

the love and affection

you show between

US and HER?

you haven't Even

realized how

badly that

you hurt us

when you left us

we know that her

father left her

when she was a

baby

the ironic thing is you

left us when I was a

toddler and she was

a baby?

but you didn't really leave us

till we were 12 and 10 isn't

it lovely during that time

you found HER

you clam she reminds

you of us?

heck the child looks

like us

but you know

what you can keep

her instead of us
