The Magic Of Divorce(Written On January 27,2009) Poem by Elizabeth Burnworth

Seven years old
I thouhjt that nothing could go wrong
You told me that you loved me
And before I knew it...you were gone

You packed up all your stuff
And then you said goodbye
I didn't know what else to do
I felt a part of me had died

It was like being kicked into the dirt
Rejected and unwanted
Your heartless words playing over in my head
As they teased and taunted

There is no pain in the world
That could possibly be worse
You almost feel like dying
But that's the magic of divorce
