There is no apparent glue for a broken household,
for if you try to hide the pain then you will feel it tenfold.
Parents “mend” their relationship for their children’s sake,
But there is only so much strain duct-taped-love can take.
Usually one parent opts to give up on the process
because when you’re losing a war, you can’t make any progress.
So one parent signifies their weakness by their absence
and abandons their children to a lifetime of poor guidance.
When your father figures missing and a role model gone,
then you look for love from places that can be so wrong.
So if your family is fractured but you want it to last forever,
Then you must work past all the breaks and try to hold it all together.
