You expect
Trust
And respect
But return none
We reject
Your brand of ‘fun’
You use
You abuse
You lie
Our kids cry
We ask why
You deny
We all lose
We’re done
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
A memory flashes
Gathers rust
And crashes
You cannot resurrect
Respect
And trust
They’re bust
Gone
Goodbye

Sounds like you and you’re family are going through a lot Em, I’m sorry to hear that; I hope writing about it brings you some comfort x

Thanks, Sarah – it has helped a lot. Most of this sort of stuff was written months ago – couldn’t publish until I felt comfortable with it being out in the world. x
