Half Of What We Were

I can't stand it.
The screaming, the crying, the fear.

Boxes are stacking,
Children are crying,
And now my pictures not whole,
The rip soon to be a gnash soon to be unbearable.

What side do I choose,
The left or the right picture?
The one whole becoming two halves,
A family being torn,
As easily as paper,
As horribly as human flesh,
As fast as a cheater.

The noise of paper ripping,
As the family splits apart,
I can't stand it,
I can't stand,
I can't,
I just want to be whole again,
Not a torn picture,
Not worn down,
I want wholeness,
Where we can be one.

But glue won't fix this tear,
Nothing can hide the wedge,
The happy picture is torn,
And will be forever.
