The blurry polaroid picture, the half memories
The childhood photograph of us in my wallet
Makes me want to go back in that time.
The crippling edges, the yellowing sides
Deteriorating with every passing day
Cannot cease the deterioration that
These harsh words and false promises bring.
I remember the kisses that we shared
And I’ll never forget the ones we don’t, anymore.
The dinners we had, and the travelling trips
Together, as, one we had do much fun.
But now, all that remains is the
Blurry picture of us, I wish you could see
Before you sign those papers, today
And eliminate the existence of our family.
Mom and dad, I can never imagine
You too apart, alone, forgotten.
Please let us go back in time,
To the day in that photograph
And see how much we loved each other.
Can’t we?
Wow, that was very moving. It is hardest for the children when parents get separated.But sometimes it is less hard then when they stayed together. That poem goes deep!

That was very heartfelt. I think for a lot of children — especially very young ones — their parents divorcing must be like the sky shattering and falling down on them. A part of their world they always thought of as fixed and permanent suddenly isn’t that way anymore.
Anyway, good post! Here’s a happy face for you. 😀

Great poem love. Is the separation part of it coming from real life or fiction? If it’s really happening, then I’m so very sorry to hear it.
