Bloom, Then Wither

June 27, 2023
By Anonymous

Born to slammed doors and hostile glances,

Loveless love. They are like 

Ocean waves, slamming down

On each other. This house has become a 

Madhouse. 

And yet they say that once upon a time, they were not

Narcissistic. They did not even want to

Damage each other. 

Why was

I not here when

They did actually

Hold love for

Each other? Why am I only here when the family is

Ruined?

I wrote this poem when I was talking with a friend about her parents before they divorced. She told me her story, and I wrote this poem for her. Hope you enjoy this short poem!
