What I Can’t Fathom
I watch my niece
and nephew
play together,
their curious minds
finding joy in
the littlest things.
I love them both
fiercely,
I’d protect them
at all costs—
and they’re not
even mine.
That thought makes
my heart ache.
Because I love
these kids as if
they are my own—
my father brought
my brother and me
into this world,
yet he tried to
destroy us.
