What will it take for you to search your memory
and count the reasons why your parents deserve
so much more than this silence?
Your parents are not that young anymore,
and I cannot give you a newspaper from the future
so you can read how long you may have left
to show them how much you love them.
Your kids are not that old yet,
so do you really believe that it's too late
to come back and let them know they are loved?
It is not their fault they their parents fell out of love,
and they became caught in the crossfire
of your war of destruction.
When the time comes when you have to say goodbye,
will you be weighed down by sorrow and regret
of how different things could have been?
Please come back and reconsider what you still could save.
Don't be a stranger to those who should be your shadow!
What have you really got to lose?
Would it be such a bad thing
to try and heal the bonds of love
that have been so badly broken?
