A Family
We’ll be a family
You said.
We’ll live like one,
Act like one,
And love like one.
I should have known
It was too good to be true.
You forget I’m there,
And go out for fun
When I’m at work.
We lock ourselves
In our rooms,
Seeking our own
Entertainment.
I should have known
It was too good to be true.
Our family meals
Begin with us
All sitting together
Putting food on our plates.
But one by one,
We all disappear
With some excuse.
I should have known
It was too good to be true.
I close my bedroom door
To dull the sounds
Of the arguments you have
That never end.
We’ll be a family
You said.
I should have known
It was too good to be true.
