Whats left...

Tell me we can still be a family,
Daddy come and make it all go away.
All these tears, and fighting,
I am lost not knowing what to do.
Every night you guys tuck me into bed,
I cry when you say i love you
You smile at me,
you tell me every things just fine...
But Mommy, how come you smile like that?
Those tears in your eyes say you're lying.
It hurts knowing you're protecting me with a lie.
How is protection when I cry in this corner every time you fight?
It hurts to see you lie,
as if I cannot see the truth.
The only way to win is if I plan on losing one of you...
But I do not want it Daddy,
all your stuffs been packed away.
You just said you loved me, so tell me how come you cant stay?
You tell me to be strong,
to suck it up, and be tough.
One last time i ask you,
you just say sometimes love just is not enough
Inside I am screaming
Mommy, why are you letting him leave!?
You just sit there ignoring it as if you are too blind to see...
Mommy, what did I do...
Is this all my fault,
or is some of it from you?
Tell him that you are sorry,
Mommy, please make him stay..
I am too young to handle this,
it shouldn't be my price to pay!
Why are you so calm, Daddy just left!
A few last tears fall from your eyes as if to whisper no regrets...
I walk away from the empty scene,
throw myself on my bed,
and inside i scream:
SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP!
LET THERE BE SOMETHING I CAN DO!
DON'T LET HIM LEAVE...
I NEVER GOT TO SAY I LOVE YOU...
but I still wake up in emptiness,
Mommy's got nothing left to say...
Daddy left last night...
But theres a new guy here today...
