What Comes Next

Divorces are awful

Messy, battered, broken homes

Whether one can't decide to stay or go,

If one begs the other to stay,

Or if they both turn away

At the very same time.

For a kid, it comes as a surprise.

You never expect them to leave

As a kid,

You believe your parents are soulmates

But they just aren't.

You're never ready for what comes next.
