what pain feels like...

[Rae]

once there was a boy,
his parents split up,
i can only imagine of being so young,
thinkin in his head why not wait 'till i was grown,
one day mommy and big sis went away,
then they came back the next day,
not knowing what was going to happen,
big sis started playin devils advicate,
when daddy came home he was cryin and screamin,
me left out clueless,
still didnt know what was happenin',
big sis woke-up one mornin' and started packin,
sis went to NC,
she had her head up in the clouds leavin me here to figure everyting out on my own,
later i found out the famils braking apart,
i'm sittin here askin how can this be happenin' ?,
my worst fear is comin true,
i'm leavin my daddy to come live with you,
mommy i'm confused,
is it my fault?,
oh- i'm sorry! what can i do?,
mommy i want my dad,
he's the only one that understands me,
the boy tells mommy and big sis that he gets made fun of at school,
he's never been the quiet one always the allstar, never the fool,
over the summer he goes to see his dad in florida,
he ends up stayin there,
while this is all happenin' mommys in her room cryin',
while sis is livin it up,
the boy ends up staying with his dad,
now i only get to see that little 4th grade boy 2 times a year,
and everytime i think about him you can hear tears.
