Past Parents

It's been odd of late

Thinking of the changes not just the ones I have made

I feel so confused, disoriented, alone

The two people I should most certainly know

My parents of all people I don't recognize

I could have sworn that they at least where familiar to I

Neigh, even they have changed in this past year

I'd trade this new loneliness for those childhood tears

Ones caused by being forgotton; put last on the list

Yelling, screaming, sometimes being hit

By laying, curled in bed careful to stifle crying noises

I thought I'd always love to be out and away from those causes

But now, in my separation

Through the years past events

I find myself crying in sorrowful remembrance

Of the bad and good alike, the people I hated and loved

Now, though I swore before that I wanted them just gone

Now, I want my parents

The ones I knew and loved
