"Not bad"

-

 Two words.

Only 2 words.

But it broke our heart like nothing else ever did.

"Not bad,"

was the last response we had ever expected to receive.

We wanted protection.

We wanted assurance.

We wanted them to be on our team.

We wanted then to pull us close to their side.


But no.

They left us there,

To fight our own battle.

While they watch us

From the sidelines.


We then learnt

From the bottom of our hearts

That they never minded

Losing us


Perhaps

We were nothing to them

In the first place
