Confused Kid

Mom, do you remember how things used to once be? Sometimes I feel like you fail to see. Just above the surface it all looks okay, how did you go on and make it thru each day? 14 years is a long time to lie, even today, the thought still makes me cry. The look on daddy’s face as those words sliced his heart, I’ll never forget it, it tore me apart.. beautiful green eyes staring at me through the rear view mirror, I wanted so badly to catch dads every tear. I’ll never forget that day, it’s burned in my brain, momma I don’t think you understand the depth of dads pain. I still ask my self why we took you to that mans place, the only thing I could figure is dad was full of faith. I figure that we took you there because maybe dad wanted you to see, just how much he loved you even after you did cheat. Maybe I am wrong for I was just a small kid, did it ever occur to you that your secret would not stay hid? 14 years is equivalent to 5,110 days, each day that you woke up how’d you manage to look us in our face?
