this feels like the divorce
i was spared
my parents too exhausted
…….by life
…………to split
i should pack up my words now
to save something
of who i’ve been
but i am paralyzed
…….consumed
wondering what i did or didn’t do
to cause this
deletion, this ending
thinking that if only i write
……..the perfect poem
they’ll start loving each other again
& i can go out to play
…….without all the crying
~~~
