Suffer The Little Children, Due To Others Indiscretions!

In a whirl wind of a storm
brewing up,
yet once more!
Their lives
where getting crushing yet again
 
The build-up of the arguments
their explosive parents sharing
loud accusations in their bedroom
night after night!
 
Thinking no one cared
or could hear them 
rage at each other 
over and over again.

The kids,  would sit hidden
out of sight, close to their
parents 
bedroom door.
And listen and hear
the almighty reasons
why? They did fight.

Father was a cheater, another
affair was found out
This was his second indiscretion
to which no more.
 She could just
turn a blind eye!

Just for the sake
 of her dear
loving sweet kids.
She tolerated and
put up with his 
s**t?

And act and present
 a normal united front
 to the rest of the world
 outside
their own front door.

 When he, 
 did it,
again.

It broke her heart
and spat
on her soul. 

No more, not again she
declared. With an almighty roar
She decided. She could not
just turn away. And said
She had to take a stand, 
and put a stop.
 To this for good.
His shenanigan, 
 and deceitful ways.

She opening, the bedroom window.
And out goes his clothing.
 Out he goes 
from her life
 and his kids life
as well!

 She screams at him
 in blinding rage.
 F**k off to your tart!

The kids are screaming.
No mum, please No!

Out past the kids.
The husband
did run. 
Slamming the front door.

Fumbling for his car keys. 
Opens the car door!
Foot on the accelerator
and floored it away.
 
Gone for good, is daddy?
Said,  one of the children
asking,  through blinding tears,
streaming down his
little face!.

I find people on this site often make poem about childhood abuse etc. But yours is diffirent , you make deep look under of this subject with sharp eye and gentle heart. Pain of child can be very tragical and can make mark on whole life. I was at my childhood abused by violent punishment . I can say with my parents I dont have relationship. I feel more free and happy. Even my writing is not happy but I am. Thanks for strong reflection and beautiful creation.

I always try to speak about what I feel in theme of poem. I dont really speak about form or poetic flow. I find it so many people critize just to be right. Its always nice to find some good writing with meaning and message.

Even tho your poem is about a very serious topic, your storytelling is bright & almost playfully truthful. The more your poem goes on, the lighter it gets, so that when she’s throwing his crap out the window, this part feels almost funny. I’m amazed at how you captured that juxtaposition of exasperation & exhilaration. That point of having taken so much crap, you just can’t take it a minute longer, so you get up the courage to do what you should’ve done a long time ago. You packed all that realistic emotion into your lyrical vignette about becoming fed up. Love your artful way of approaching this topic – this is the meaning of SHOW instead of tell (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you, for your inightful view to my poem.

Dee, you are quite the humanitarian. I also read your poem on hatred, both these poems superior. I am of the belief that a lot of people are better off not being involved in a romantic relationship, that they'll be happier in the long run being independent. I've witnessed some poor souls having to end a 2nd, 3rd, 4th bad relationship. They need to know God loves them. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem about firefighters, I really appreciate it. :)

This is like the storyu of my life. My mother cheated on her second husband who abused me. It was really hard to read this because it reminded me of my past.

[Onlyme]

I am so sorry to hear that. I was trying to show and share how it does affect the children. When parents do not think, and do selfish thing. Instead of protecting and cherishing their families, they crap on them from a great height!

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

It does affect them. I still suffer from nightmares and PSTD

[Onlyme]

I can understand that. I suffer from those myself. Do to things that happened in my own life. I relate. And feel for you.
