Divorce Poem

Well, when I was around 2 my dad cheated on my mom and told her he didn't love her anymore. He broke her heart and he left me and my mom. We talk sometimes now, but I don't really want anything to do with him...This poem was to show you guys how one person can change the way you feel sometimes!!

Flowered Heart

When you left me
I was too young to see
I was too young to tell
how much pain you would make my heart dwell

I cry almost every night
because I know my daddy won't be here tonight
He left me some years ago
Nothing can ever make me feel this low

I never saw them together because at the time of divorce I was just two
but I have to say daddy, it was all because of you
You told her you didn't love her
How could you do that to my mother

The woman that loved you more than you can ever know
A woman who is still waiting for your return at the window
I am 15 1/2 now, dad, it's a shame you aren't here to help
me fill my life support bag

You missed out on Band competitions
That we even won first place in
You miss out on my first overnight camp
There I made so many new friends

My softball games are the funniest by far
I hit that ball so hard one time I could have swore it hit a star
But daddy, enough with that,
I have on question that is hanging on my back

Where'd you go daddy?
The peelings on my heart are making a pretty big stack

  • When I was 3 my parents got a divorce cause he cheated on my mom January. I couldnt see him for 8 years of my life if I saw him it was a supervised visit cause of his alcohol and drug addiction. One day when he claimed he was clean we went to his house and a lady was on the couch, our new step mom, I had no idea she got him hooked on drugs again and she abused me and my sister as well as him I went back to my moms and I had a new step dad he was also abusive and a drunk but now everything is good. So I know how you feel some advice I'd give you is to PRAY just always pray you're in gods hands

  • The poems here are beautiful. I am a 44-year-old man whose wife has just said she's leaving me for another man.
    I feel as if my best friend is dying and there's nothing I can do to save her.
    Oh God, please help me.
