Broken Poem by May N

This distance feels so cold
when it's between you and me
have we ever really been close
or was that just hopeful dreaming?

why can't we be like the others?
why must we always pretend?
This life of ours is not normal
if i sleep with tears that never end

every night i feel so empty
while i deliberate memories past
want to cut you out of my life forever
since i know this love's not gonna last

every night i wake to screaming
angry words hang in the air
it seems to me it's for the better
since you have never been there

this family is now broken
it's been broken from the start
i wish i could say i loved you
but that wouldn't have come from my heart
