dear mom,

i had to write a poem in english class about a moment(s) in time that affected me deeply

mommy stay with mammaw

I like having you by yourself

because when you and dad are together

all you do is yell



you can split up our time with each of you

but please this time stay apart

everytime you switch back and forth

it breaks another little piece of my heart



so please don't "stay together for the kids"

because it's not us you are doing it for

you guys are doing it for your own selfish needs

and leaving innocence to deal with war
