The family has gone

The tears still linger

And Leftovers still sit, warm on the table

The words that were said

The ones that pierced through my heart

Did you really mean them?

Did you mean to tear our relationship apart?

And Leftovers still sit, cooling on the table

How did the fight even begin

On this Thanksgiving day?

Is this what the normal family does

For their holiday?

My thoughts are overwhelmed

Repeating every word that was said

Love has been crushed

All trust I had is now dead

And Leftovers still sit, now cold on the table

A mother, a daughter

A relationship broken

That bond was so special

But so many hurtful things were spoken

And Leftovers still sit, now spoiling on the table

This can't be fixed

The pain is too deep

This can't be fixed

This can't be fixed

And Leftovers still sit, forever spoiled on the table
