With my darkling

No saint,
I never claimed to be
You knew that
you have always known that

it must be easy to sleep
as long as it's my fault

I don't sleep anymore
I lie there for hours
and think of my girls
and how you have used
them as pawns, treated them like
property

So while you spend
your days
thinking about the house,
the car, the pension plan

I spend every moment
hearing them laugh
and waiting for
the next moment
I will get to hold them

You can have everything else

Jason...what a powerful write. Children have no place in battles between their parents. Best of luck working things out. A child needs her dad

Jason,
Sorry for your pain. It is truly a powerless feeling. Courage...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Jason, such a sad sad write..
and yet, it happens far too frequently.
Hugs~

I don't get the humor in the first comment...the sarcasm yes. These must be tough times for you, but such is the end of many relationships esp. with the accent on who owns what. Be resilient
