Divorce Is Such an Ugly Thing

I don’t know what to do anymore.
Stuck between a battle,
Getting torn in two
Divorce is such an ugly thing for a Child.

Trying to say a word
To ears clogged by hate
How did it get this far,
Without killing a child’s hope.

I love my parents
But they do have their flaws
Dad’s a control freak
And mom is neurotic

Living is sometimes unbearable
But I could never leave
I wish I could disappear
Have another life

It’s not easy
Being put in the middle
Of an ongoing battle
Never knowing if it truly will end

You might lose an arm or a leg
Or maybe even your heart
Never able to get it back from the blackness
Or get it back from the dogs

Put in the middle
Both arms extended
Being pulled apart
Pushed and shoved

Hoping, praying, believing
The worst might just be over
And then it starts again
Breaking me into pieces.

The stress is eating my insides
Don’t know how much more I can take
Please God give me a break
Please God help me out.

There is only so much I can do
Only so much I can say
Before my heart is impossibly broken
And my face is just a masquerade

These constant fights are between the two of you
I may be wise, but to an extent
You may hate the other
But they are my parent

I love you
But keep me out of it.
