Great Divide

This time she's staring for the love
from her innocence.
She knows her parents have forgotten how…For years
They have been screaming. “I want out.” Her eyes comply
It's finally happened now.

Inside her room she hears the father slam the door
His final words still linger in the air. “It's hard to love
you
When I don't know who you've become!” The mother's
Screaming “So go ahead leave – we are done.”

Emotions stay inside. Lock the pain has made it hard
To breath. Her parents love is failing. She's crying
Out for some relief, from this great divide. She appears
To be alive, while dying from the inside out.
