Silhouette of a Broken Home

[5]He sits in a corner Like a stranger in wander. He knew it wasn't worth it Yet asunder became winner, Now he is a lone ranger For giving in to the Home breaker. Anger, slander, character, Causing matrimonial Disaster. [10]He carried his lunchbox In order to catch up with The school bus..., Pale, pathetic, not to Miss daddy's absence Is a paradox, For he could not understand Why things are thus. All he knew is daddy's Painful absence. [15]All day long his image crept in, She tried to let it go but It remained within. Her bed seemed bigger And the time looked slower, Love missing in action, For anger, slander, character, causing Matrimonial disaster. [20]Silhouette of a broken home, Love turned sour... If you think is to garbage And retire, then you're A lair and a romantic slacker For letting the innocent Child suffer...

I just wonder why you use numbers on your poems as you do above. I like your message on this one. The bonds of marriage should not be taken lightly and yes it is the children who suffer when an affair goes on. This is well penned but I would take out the numbers they are not needed. God Bless Phyl
