Into the world came another, brought to earth by her caring mother, <br />Named perfectly by her loving father, <br />Looked after, Cared for, loved for five years <br />Then IT happens. <br /> <br />She sits hopelessly in a lit room, her father at one end, her mother at the other, <br />A tear in her parents eyes, <br />All of a sudden a tear comes to hers too, <br />It slowly runs down her cheek, <br />She doesn't understand, <br />But she sees her dads suitcase in the corner of the room, <br />She Now knows, she screams, <br /> Why is this happening to me, <br />'It's for the best, ' her mum says, <br />But she replies by crying more and running to her room <br /> <br />The last day came, it was finally over, <br />There was nothing left for her parents to cling onto, <br />Leaving her stuck in the middle, to choose who to be with, <br />But then she realizes, <br />She has no choice, <br />She has to be with her mum. <br /> <br />As she watched her dad walk out of her front door, she cried, <br />It will never be the same again, <br />She will never be the same again, <br />Her dad chucked his suitcase in the back of his van, <br />And took one last look and waved, before leaving <br />For GOOD. <br /> <br />Before long there was another, <br />Someone in her house with her and her mum, <br />Who was he? <br />Was he the one that took dad away? No, but it felt like it <br />Is he the one that mum loves so dearly? Yes he is! <br /> <br />she sees her dad every now and again, <br />He's happily engaged and soon will be getting married, <br />she is happy as long as both her mum and dad are happy too, <br />But she will always remember the day her heart was torn in two.<br /><br />Sophie Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-heart-torn-in-two/
