It's been a while since I've seen you make a post
on social media about your divorce and how you hurt the most.
This time you read a note that she wrote a year ago
saying it's been 15 years since you've known
that you're "meant to be". 5 Months later
she said God didn't give her a way out of the marriage
and she can't wait any longer. 6 Months later
the divorce is final. 4 Months later
she's in love with another.
She wants the kids to meet him.
I would have sympathy, but I don't anymore.
This woman is obviously a Whore.
She never treated me like my sister or my brother
all because we knew she wasn't my Mother.
I looked up to you dad, you did what was best for the family.
Like kicking me out because she falsely accused me
of touching my sister inappropriately.
Did I mention I was 6 and she was only 3?
I wasn't allowed back until my uncle died
which was 5 years later, isn't that sad?
At age 11 she "allowed" me to come in the house.
Why did my father listen to his crazy spouse?
I was apart of the family until age 16
Apparently my sister had a dream
of a dark figure. You assumed it was me.
You listened to your wife and put lies in her head.
Told her a "truth" that I never did!
I loved you even when you came clean.
The drugs, the alcohol, and even the pain.
I never blamed you and gave you forgiveness.
Enough is enough. She's still your mistress.
I remember you told me you value her more
than your kids because she could make more.
Yet I let that go thinking you were joking.
Now I know that you weren't lying.
You came to me sad that you missed
all of theses years and relationships you pissed.
I thought you meant it, ready to start over.
You wanted to see me and make up for what you lost.
That didn't last, I never hear or talk cause I'm not sober.
I did what I could to reach out to you.
I even got into poetry just to relate to you.
Im 20 now and done with understanding.
I have a life to build and I'm still planning.
I'm an architect of my future,
the blue prints don't involve you.
To my Father, I wish you the best.
Maybe you'll find peace. But I'm done
fighting, so I'm going to rest.

- Comment from author about the poem: None of this is made up. My life on my dad's side of the family has been hell. I finally felt that this would be all that I've kept inside. There's much more that had happened but I felt like I've hit all the main points. My step-mom sucked as a person and many people that know her would also agree. My Father has missed over half of my life because of her. She twisted his arm and would threaten divorce if she didn't get what she wanted. She had been sexually molested by her father when she was a little girl and that carried with her. I believe that is the cause of most things. I could never tell my Father how I actually felt knowing he is suicidal, so I see this as a release. I appreciate anyone who reads it.

This is very powerful man. It took a lot of courage to openly share this with other people. Thank you.
You're so brave. Poetry is an excellent outlet and extremely therapeutic. My struggles are not the same as yours, but I do struggle a lot. Put your pain out there and get the support you deserve! Perhaps you can start to let go and heal. I wish you all the best! And yes, this was wonderfully thought out and written! --phoenix
A very sad and poignant poem about a very terrible chapter in your life. A very well written and brave piece.
Thank you for sharing this is powerful
Brilliant and brave
