Alone
November 23, 2013
I miss having a family
Being surrounded by the people I loved
Even if they didn’t love each other
Through all the hateful words
The piercing silence of dinners
We always came home to one another
Then my brother went off to college
And decided to never come back
My mother packed all her belongings
And disappeared with the daylight
All those nights I longed
With tears that burned like acid
The wasted words wishing and praying
For something I wish I no longer had
Because peace does not mean happiness
And loneliness cuts deeper than the knife of hatred
