When something's missing

There’s something missing
In their lives
Something you cannot see
Something you cannot touch
Daddy was cold and distant
Mumma never seemed to care
Too many days; merely existed
Too little love was there...
Physical; loving; gentle touch
Was something missing; rare
Where were those cuddles?
Everybody else seemed to get
Never felt quite abandoned
Felt loved and yet...
There was something missing
Was it a simple caress?
When he fell and hurt himself
Anger and harshness
Was all he seemed to get!
Daddy was distant
Growled out: not in anger
But neither was there love
He was always; himself; seeking
Something he could never find
A mother’s love was missing
His father; he never knew
Granny was the one who raised him
There was nothing anyone could do
He searched; forever empty
Seeking solace where ever it grew
