Divorce

By maggot death

When I was young

I had it all:

love

luck

grades

It was all mine...

It felt like it just came to me.....

Until the divorce
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days before

oh, how they argued...

it makes me feel gore,

that my one hero,

my one idol

left me to the world beyond

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He packed his suitcase

He said "look at me...

"I am leaving

and I am not coming back"...

He walked out of the old,

creaky front door

that we still have today.

My sister thought he would never leave...

but when the 5 year old

that had so much ahead of her

found out, she cried,

"Where is Daddy going...?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since then

my life has been dragged

by deaths,

and loss of my luck

loss of my love

and I became a soul out of many

that lost a life of no issues,

no worries,

and no problems of any kind

due to the darkness

that I would call

divorce...

Nicely done. I like the visual telling, the emotional suffering was good. write on.
A former member wrote: This is moving! I can't definitely feel this, my parents divorced when I was 2. I have never been truly knowledgeable of them together! All I have is pictures and frail stories of what could have been, but what isn't and what has never been! Hang in there, you'll use this to feed upon and fortify! Just as I have!

Thank you, everybody, for enjoying my work. This is not nearly my best of it, though. I will post my best poetry and best stories in the very near future, and will continue my 'The 13th year' series as soon as I can.

I feel your pain well brother, but I really like this poem and it makes me so happy to see a younger person with so much potential, keep writing.
A former member wrote: Wow, Brenden, you are an incredible poet. I've never personally gone through a divorce so I'm not able to relate, but their is a lot of pain in this poem. Remember I'm here for you and things will get better.

things never return...Ive waited for so long, and wanted, and believed that i would get something back. I never did. ever. it just got worse.
A former member wrote: child of divorce.... you may find you will be more resourceful for it, and so we shall make our own luck. some things will return, though never quite the same.
