Someday We'll Know

Severed your ties as you head for the hills.
Instilled in your ideals is a life on your own.
Shown no remorse, pain, loss or contrite.
Despite having children that you've never known.

Three children show love that you've never returned.
Spurned our hearts in a way that we didn't deserve.
A nerve to speak of an upbringing you didn't partake.
Heartache, promotions, emotions you didn't observe.

Our formative years have long since gone past.
Aghast at the lengths of time you'd force us to wait.
Blatantly apparent that at us you're disdainful,
Painful in the knowledge of our anticipations abate.

Without you our lives are decidedly sour,
Our hopes are in session and about to adjourn.
Concern that someday we'll know to give up waiting.
Debating whether someday you'll ever return.
