The Separation Feeling

Mommy its me. She tells me to stop tugging on your jacket
But mommy i don't want to see you and daddy fight anymore
Please leave mommy alone and go to your room
Its the absence of words that makes her cry as i walk out the door

I can hear every word being uttered. There is no escape even outdoors
Even when all is said and done she cries but i do not know why
I seen my dad with a bag in hand waving goodbye
I tried to chase after him to get a hug but my mom stopped me instead

I wanted to know why i couldn't say goodbye and so i started to cry
Screaming at the top of my lungs I remember my dad coming back
I forced myself away from my mom and ran to the door
My dad scooped me up and promised me everything was going to be alright

I couldn't help but think this was all because of something i had done
It was hard to see my dad cry. Tears rolling down his cheeks scared me beyond belief
I didn't want to let go out of fear that i would never see him again
It was then my mom said daddy's got to leave son let go of him

It was then i was forced to watch my dad walk out the door
I turned and hugged my mom for what felt like hours
Crying she tried to tell me it was not my fault and that things would work out
She said daddy loves you and i would be seeing him again

I can remember that day like i had just lived it this morning
I cant even begin to express how i felt at that very moment
And even though my parents are still together and everything seems to be OK
I still cant forget that day and the things i felt and the words that had been said
