-
A little girl crying on a curb
unaware
of what had happened
because it all happened so fast.
One minute
you were fighting
the next
you were out the door.
She screamed
running from home
calling for you
but the only answer she got
was a blown kiss
and a splash from the car that was driving away.
Now she sits
on the curb
crying
because she can almost tell
that you will never come back.
The rain
is pounding so hard
but she stays outside
waiting
just in case you do.
She waits for hours
until she can cry no more.
She has no choice
but to go home.
Ten years later
after suffering
waiting
for the time she thought would never come
you appear at her doorstep
trying to apologize.
She closed her eyes
remembering
how hard it was to live without a mother
how she cried every time she thought about that day
how much she missed your laugh
and the way you braided her hair.
How painful it was to watch the other children
getting hugs from the other moms
when they got hurt
or were just lonely.
How much she missed you
and wished you were there to comfort her.
How much she'd love everything to be okay
to forget what had happened these past years
to forget all the hate.
She opens her eyes.
She slams the door in your face.
She leaves you out in the rain
to sit on a curb.
She could never trust you again.
She wasn't that desperate.
She was burnt.
Not broken.
