We’re all nothing but walking paradoxes, and I love it!


Father you leave

But I have not been fed

Mother you too leave

But you have not given me a hug to keep me warm

 

Father you have gone to feed another family 

But I am still here starving

Mother you have gone to warm another family

But I am still here freezing 

 

Father you have came back

But the reaper has already fed me

Mother you have come back

But the cold got to my heart before your sweet warmth

 

Father and mother

You always say family first 

But which family do you mean?
