leaving home, <br /> <br />she stands with her things, <br />packed in small suitcases, <br />tears in her eyes, <br />streaming down her face, <br />her hair messy <br /> <br />my father, <br />doesn't look at her, <br />just turns away, <br />looking disgusted, <br />muttering, <br />'we don't want you here' <br /> <br />my mother, <br />starts crying, <br />asking her why, <br />why did she have to do that, <br />to our family <br /> <br />in the doorway now, <br />i dont know what to say, <br />what can you say, <br />after what she did, <br />to us <br /> <br />suddenly, <br />i realise, <br />she will be gone forever, <br />never to come back, <br />just like she was dead, <br />and, <br />i realise, <br />i will miss my niece, <br />being born <br /> <br />09/03/07<br /><br />Jess Terry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/departure-29/
