Divorce Is Horrible

My parents divorce
Devastated me
From the harsh circumstances
I wanted to flee

Many nights
I cried myself to sleep
The psychological pain
Ran very deep

Why had this happened
The dissolution
Of our nuclear family
It brought me confusion

The tragic loss of my family
Hit me hard
No longer did I want
To play in the yard

Over forty years later
The emotional scars remain
God alone can heal me
This is my desperate refrain

One day, my mind
Will be whole
No more mental trauma
I’ll have peace in my soul
