Breaking Us

It took so much,
Yet blurred it all,
It ruined me,
But made me forget,
Mother, you loved it,
More then your own children.

Everynight,
For weeks on end,
Nonstop, no timeouts,
You didn't break us,
Not then,
Not yet.

What broke us?
When you claimed your love,
But hurt us,
Night after night,
You left us for alcohol,
That's what broke us.
