In that kitchen
Romance began
Couple anew
Mom, dad, small girl.

In that kitchen
Smell of sweet tea
Radiated
Throughout the air.

The plush green grass
Dad’s weekly chore
Accomplishment
To be proud of.

House chores for mom
A mundane task
Time crawling by
No romance left.

In that kitchen
Young girl alone
Parents yelling
In the bathroom.

In that kitchen
Romance ended
House left to rot
Blink of an eye.
