hugged by walls MAG
I'm being hugged by four walls
 Or better yet strangled
 They hold me hard and don't let go
 I can't find how to escape these prison walls
 The ones I constructed when my 
 parents divorced
 I hold my head 
 And scream “How this can be!”
 I can't accept the fact there is no more family
 I cry while thinking this can't be
 I miss those old melodies 
 I'm being hugged by four walls 
 That don't let go
 I pull a frame of that summer 
 The summer that is now dead
 In it, me and my fondest memories
 Mom, Dad and brothers all being hugged
 By the wind from the trees that hung 
 I gasp, a tear falls fast
 I can't recall that happy past
 I wish our family was like way back  
 Together as one.
 But now we are so far apart
 That I feel our love won't last.
 Because of that divorce 
 there is not a meaning for the word 
 “family” anymore.
 I'm being hugged by four walls
 Instead of the four people who once meant my world.
