I saw my dad walk out that night

I stood there crying in the light

My mother, my brother standing next to me

We didn't know this was how it's going to be

I look in the mirror my eyes bloodshot red

I go lay down, lay in the bed

I cry myself to sleep that night

Thinking it will be alright

In my dream all I see is you

What are we going to do

Please dad, please come back

 Or my heart will start to crack

My name is Jordyn and I wrote this poem to tell a short, sad story about my family when I was not even a year old
