How Do You React

"How do you react to something like this.

Your father telling you that things are fading.

Fading between his wife, your mother.

You ask if in the future, if they were to split.

How do you react to him telling you 'I don't know'.

And as you watch them and listen to their arguments day by day.

You fear that 'I don't know' will soon turn to a yes.

You fear that your family will break.

You fear that nothing will be the same.

You fear your family will be as broken as you are.

You fear for everything!

How do you react?

You don't.

Because, you know that in the back of your mind that there's really nothing you can do about it.

Except to just let the tears fall in the darkness of the night, hoping no one hears your cries of worry and pain."
