This Monster
Divorce is no friend of man.
Divorce is a monster that engorges homes and never finishes
it never leaves
no matter how much you beg, no matter how much you plead.
it will never leave.
It can never get enough of a child's sadness
sadness is the monsters favorite meal
and it will never stop feeding.
This demon is like no other
it will consume every part of you but the skeleton inside you
It will consume your happiness and your life until you feel you have no fight left
you can't tell him to leave, you can't tell him to go,
because he doesn't listen to anyone but his master.
The one who put him in your house
the one who decided to ruin your home
ruin your happinesss.
Though you can't make him leave,
you can fight him
you can make him smaller and smaller
feed him less and less.
until no one knows he's there but you,
and you can surely live with that.
