Mom's and Dad's Divorce

by Tim J Bono

Don't dance around the facts with me.
Don't juggle me like a game.
Things will never be the same.
29 years down the drain
to the faithfully departed...

It's dark, and it rains
the trees roll and scream in pain
lighting cracks; one splits
and they fall their separate ways...


(Dichotomy is the rolling of a one-sided die,
and the inevitability of flames)

It's sad when something you think it beautiful dies. I liked the metaphor with the trees. Nicely done!!

One thing about divorce that a lot of people don't talk about is the long lasting effects it has on the children....later on, when they're adults.....I know.. my parents were divorced when I was very young. It makes me wonder sometimes....and think perhaps it did have something to do with shaky foundations...later on.. aloha..;-)
