My life changed forever,
The day you made that choice,
To hear those very words,
Left me with no voice.
Tears rolled down my cheek
Each holding a piece of my past,
While revealing old memories of
What I thought would always last.
You said you'd never hurt me,
But you broke that promise too,
And now I'm left here stranded
Feeling hurt, angry, scared, and confused.
Those very words rang through my ears,
Setting off what seemed to be a bomb in a fragile
State of mind that will continue to tick away
Until it is time. Time to leave the life
I had, to let go of what this family
Worked hard for, and to never look back.
When this time finally comes,
Reality will hit,
And the life I had once known,
Will fall apart bit by bit.
We have now become the majority,
Something I never thought I'd see,
A group of people who suffered from a
Choice made, someone I never wanted to be.
No matter how much this hurts,
And how lost in your thoughts I think you are,
I will not let this choice of yours affect
My future, for I know that I will
Go far.
My outer shell allows me to be
Strong and tough, and it
Serves as my heart's protection when
Life gets really rough.
As time passes you say I'll heal,
That I'll put my emotions aside and no
Longer have the feelings that I feel. But little
Do you know that the words you said
That day, the ones that you used to say
"We are separating", will always stay.
Stay within my mind, stay within my heart,
So how do you expect me to forget
The day my family fell apart?
