On the Day

On the day
I for real lose you
I hopefully get to keep my child

When the judge walks away
All is said and done
My emotions will go wild

Take your old name back
Take your house worth
I'm sure I'll just stare at the ring on my hand

I will "win" my child
And no longer have a "wife"
It will interesting to see where the roller coaster lands

Five years ago this couldn't be
My forever love carrying our first
In what we wanted many of

Life goal of a happy family
A dream come true
Strong enough for me to see heaven above

But the devil had other plans
He wasn't done with either of us
And we're still pawns of his game

How puppet like you've become
A stranger to the beautiful angel
I can't recognize, anything the same

So what happens as I leave the court
Will my depression deepen
Will words cease to come from me

I'll still have my daughter to care for
For her I can't afford to be numb
She can never see me bleed

But heaven help me
Face the world alone
No more pretending she could come home

Yet unable to move on
Never to get over
I have her linked to the bone

Such tragedy to love like I
The all or nothing man
And knowing life could never be better

There will never be closure
When nothing makes sense
My heart can not break this tether

Very touching, very sad. The only thing that bothered me a little was the rhyme scheme. The rhymes/almost rhymes broke the scene for me. Almost like trying to fit the feelings into a box they don't fit in. I would try without the rhymes and just let the feelings flow. But that's just me. Well done.

The theme of your hurting displayed in honest flowing emotions like tears of rage and sadness flowing down the page.
