I think backwards and mark each spot with an X

There are so many things that must be said again

when our relationship changed after sex,

To map out a life with me with my kids, a plan.

There are so many things that must be said again

Where do we save all this new living document

to map out a life of me with my kids, a plan,

Details on calendar squared up to my advent.

Where do we save all this new living document?

On my white chest, a Godzilla, a bronze Unicorn,

Details on calendar squared to my Advent,

brightly colored instruments, most of them foreign.

On my white chest a Godzilla, a bronze unicorn,

what used to fit into a much bigger property,

brightly colored instruments, most of them foreign

not enough space for a sense of unity.

It certainly takes a while to sort out a new life, especially one we didn't particularly want to see; been there, done that - twice! But now I'm glad it all went that way. Better things arrive!

I do not regret having divorced; would not be back into that. Maybe you write something more optimistic on divorce, one day. :)

A divorce is sad, I know I've been there. It takes time, but life goes on, and if you're lucky it gets better..Yea...

Thank you Shyron. I am enjoying your wonderful poetic responses. I hope you have a great day. Jamie

Jamie, it is such a sad event

When two people become discontent

With differences they cannot vent

And they have lost the way

Of what loving meant
