Alias fan those are really good!
I have neevr been real good at writing but here is a poem I had to write for school about the night my parents separated....
AWAY
A day at the mall, the best day ever
Just me, my dad, my sister and brother
One was absent, she had stuff to do
But what she had in mind, we had no clue
On the ride home we laughed and joked
While I tasted food from the mall: a pretzel and Coke
We didn’t know what was ahead, what was going on
Our world was changed at the rise of a dawn
The emptiness I saw when I walked in the door
Nothing was there, not one single drawer
I felt the blood pump hard and fast through my veins
Like the rapids of a river, never calm and tame
I heard a woman yelling, a man yelling back
While I looked around at the house no longer in tact
My legs were like Jell-o, couldn’t walk, couldn’t stand
My throat was tied together like a tight rubber band
Our emotions were baseballs being thrown around
But sooner or later baseballs hit the ground
It’s amazing how through all the pain and strife
That just one night can change your life
The memories we made wasting away
The smell of my home fading away
The last of my past slipping away
Each of us alone walking away
