Truth About Divorce

by Courtney B Chiles

When I woke up one morning,
I thought it was going to be a normal day,
When I heard what my parents were talking about,
I did not know what to say.
I heard my mom say that I am leaving you,
I found someone new,
I want you to know
I no longer love you.

I saw her pack her things and
Watched he walk out that door,
I could not understand
How she did not love her family anymore.
She decided that it was time
To have a fresh start,
I guess she will never understand
The pain she left in my heart.

I guess she will never realize how
She caused us so much pain,
Since she has left,
She has broken my heart and driving me insane.
I can still hear her saying
That our family is through,
Why is it that she could not be true?

It is hard to try to get through life
When both parents are not around,
When I start to look for my mother
I know she will never be found.
What happened to all the times that we had been together?
We always seemed to get along
Through any kind of weather.

Who would have known that this would have happen?
I know not I,
I never even gave it one thought about telling someone
I love goodbye.
Who knows what may happen
To us while you are gone,
Maybe this will be the best way
To learn how to be strong.

Going through a divorce can be the
Hardest time in life,
It feels like being stabbed repeatedly with a knife.
Even though it seems so hard to be able to deal with now,
God will get us through it some way somehow.

I want to cry as I read this. I really do.
