Divorce

Divorce

A Poem by Janelle

I'm caught abreast
With sorrow, seeping
from my chest
And no cop nor couch
Nor alimony check
Can keep deceiving
Me from what was ruined
A picture perfect family
Fluke
Just faded crayons crying
Into papers, white
And spite
Is marching through me
As they sign away what rights
(What rights?)
I might have known
Before I was an object passed
From day to day
And week to week
To carry on your shoulder
Like an ornament.
It's, what is meant
When one says to the other
I'm no longer to be bothered
So take them, take them
This one's yours on weekdays
And I'll say, 
Where's my say?

Not sure what to say other than it's perfectly written. Seems inappropriate to have a happy tone, and say like great job or something because something so personal isn't like other works, is it? It doesn't exist for praise or for other people, but more for the writer. So, yeah. Perfectly written.
