ISLAND OF ISOLATION

Door slams shut.

Heels clicking,

Echoing down the driveway.

 

Gears grind.

Tires squeal,

Rubber burns.

 

Mother is gone.

Father is alone.

And so am I.

 

Train rolls on by.

Whistle blows.

Hear a child,

That doesn't cry.

Anymore.

 

Pain burns so deep.

Can't find it.

No more.

 

Silently weep.

Tears must keep.

On the inside.

 

Now Mother's here.

And Father's there.

 

A child they share,

Apart.

Tear apart.

Tug of war,

On the heart.

 

Family feud.

Feed the child the ammunition.

 

Mother's always so fair.

But Father doesn't care.

 

A child lost,

A child tossed.

Upon the waves,

To the islands shore.

 

Island of isolation.
