Lost - I

The parents living separate lives,
In agony, anger, frustration and misery,
The child is shuttled between two homes,
Allowed to feel no sense of bonding or family.
He's lost in the jungle of a cruel, loveless life.
Clandestine meetings with his father's parents,
Having a weekend visitor, whom he once called "Daddy",
And watching the parents fling hurtful words
At one another, draw blood and kill verbally,
The lost and lonely child shakes his head sadly.
He says, life's not at all for those who love or marry.
