Dysfunctional

Have they been too busy for you again?
Do you sit alone,
Waiting for them to come home,
Only to complain,
And leave you,
Alone and out of their world?
Does everyday feel the same?
Go out,
Come back,
Alone,
Unwanted,
Feeling like an impending train wreck,
No one to ask about your day?
Is the silence killing you?
With an emptiness that nothing,
Not even hours on the phone,
Or the latest CDs can fill?
What would make them notice?
New tattoo?
Crashing the new car they gave you?
Nothing seems to work,
They look but never see,
That all you ever needed was a family.
