    A few years ago, my parents were arguing

    It got uglier and uglier by the day

    the hour

    the minute

    the very second

    It just kept going and going until that one night

    I was sound asleep in the big comfy green chair in our living room when

    I woke up and heard these words "So are we getting a divorce or not?"

    I wanted to keep my composure so I acted like I didn't hear anything

    The next morning I asked my mom and dad if this could possibly be true

    Sadly, they said "I'm afraid so", I was heart broken

    My parents had been wanting one for years but never got around to it

    Now they have signatures proving that it's over...

    I love you guys

    Oh my, sounds like my life! omg! Recently my son who is also on site with me, has written comments about his childhood as he went throught this. I realize just how much it hurt him because then at that time he was always so indifferent to it all or so I thought. I am sorry that your parents have made this decision. Every relationship is existing against all odds. The ratio is very low of the ones that do last now adays. I loved this write and the title is very unique and creative. Very well done! Hugz

    I know dealing with your parents divorce must have been really difficult to overcome. But just remember, you have friends and family that love you, You have my church family, OUR church family that adores you in everything that you do. I know both your mom and your dad are extremely proud of you for the person you have become. Awesome poem,.

    Distilling the process is instuctive: unresolved conflict, fateful decision, souvenier signatures. Oh, and a broken hearted kid. Don't leave that one out as unimportant. Harv

    I'm fortunate that I never had to endure this. My kids are fortunate that they never will. The only words of comfort that I can offer is that you've have a wonderful family... and while they may be apart, you'll always have the love and support from both of them. And you know you've got a 2nd family who can provide that for you too ;) This is a great write, T... and the title is perfect. Awesome job!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
