Pantoum: Divorce


 

 

It was difficult to hear at such a young age.

She should’ve known it was bound to happen.

They weren’t happy anymore.

Some parents fall out of love.

 

She should’ve known it was bound to happen.

She heard the screaming matches from their bedroom.

Some parents fall out of love.

Some cracks can’t be mended with time. 

 

She heard the screaming matches from their bedroom.

The best intentions aren’t always enough. 

Some cracks can’t be mended with time.

A broken home is perfect for a broken heart. 

 

The best intentions aren’t always enough. 

It was difficult to hear at such a young age.

A broken home is perfect for a broken heart. 

They weren’t happy anymore.
