Still Afraid

I always thought mom and
dad would stay together
but the heavens proved me wrong
by making them hate each other

but i still had high hopes
maybe they can come together and love again
or maybe they can
even become close friends

this dream failed
and i didn't know what to do
but i couldn't cry
or else I'll look like the fool

i will smile to show
them I'm okay
because i don't want them
to know that I'm afraid

afraid of being
hurt like this again
the pain hasn't healed
and look how long it has been
