Homewrecker

A poem about my Fathers' affair.

Dearest ''J'',

I knew you wanted my Daddy from the start.

I could tell in my soul,

I could feel it in my gut.

Don't give me any ifs,ands or butts.

What young woman jogs with a married man?

When my father asked if that would be okay,

My mom was like NO WAY!

Your redhair in a ponytail,

Your short shorts,

and tight tops.

Any guy that looked at you would need a mop.

Do you know what it was like,to see my father slowly leave my mom?

Like did you even care?

I know what you guys were doing,over there.

Late at night in your underwear?

What young woman wants to jog with a married man?

Only one who wants no more wedding bands.

ouch.. this hurts, I don't know how hard it was for you to write this but it was really honest and the pain is raw, even behind the touch of humour, the ending had this kind of finality and really sinks your heart to the ground. reminds me of the divorces in my family, I can sort of understand this situation, this is the kind of hurt that manifests into your psyche and stays there. thank you for sharing.

many still...
