Divortium-Mom and Dad, Dad and Mom

Mom and Dad, Dad and Mom So opposed in their roles, yet unified in their wants. It's a bitter shame to be old and grey, Look back at the longest commitment, the largest role in the stage of life, Marriage and being a spouse, kids and mortgages And have nothing good to say about it. Till your spouse's signature takes up one half of the ‘sign here’ box at the end of your divorce papers. You look at the comforting curvature of their initials, the hurried ink. One you've seen a thousand times, this time the last name isn't yours. And words rush into your throat, gratitude chokes you up. Thank you. even though I couldn't think of one good thing to say about you a few days ago and wont find a single compliment to give years from now if you held a gun to my head, I'm glad we ran this Act through. This scene concludes, the epilogue ends. The velvet drapes fall like well timed snow, Soft and punctual. You take a step back, sigh in relief. Hear the muted applause, Guilty yet absolved. Hand in unlovable hand. Dad and Mom. Mom and Dad.
