You never hit me

Never yelled

Never even said a bad word

But you slept at the table

Mid meal

You slurred your words

I didn’t understand

You weren’t here

You were gone

You never hit me

Never yelled

Never even said a bad word

I was never afraid

Not of you

But yet you hurt me

Scarred me

Broke my soul

You are the person that

slept during meals

I didn’t know it

but you were drunk

You are also the person that

wrote me little notes

My partner in game night

The best sandcastle builder

The person who was there

when I couldn’t bike as fast

How do I separate the two mirrors

Each reflection wildly different

Because shattering one would shatter the other

No matter how much I wish

to split them

They are the same
