When Family Dies

eight and twelve is the difference we see in
what separates these three from each other,
and if there ever was a family inside them
it has long since been abandoned hereto;
a parental claim of togetherness was the
standard by which their lives were led
and when that standard broke in two,
never a more polarized trio was there as
they led their independence with an
ambivalent attitude towards the others;
and, in so doing sealed their fate and
as with all trinities there is always a
balance that leans toward one side and
never shall the one in the middle have
what the other two have taken away.
