family line #1

a blurt from a potentially longer series on the topic

i look up to my father and i think
oh, how the mighty have fallen
grand titans whom time will outrun
crumble too.

i look down to my mother and i think
oh, you have never been smaller
a faded light of the only sun 
I once knew.

nothing more tragic than to see
your own story torn apart;
i am nothing but my dad's green eyes
and my mother's aching heart
