Blood Does Not Bind

Hey people! This is an old piece I wrote around the last line. My parents are not divorced, but a lot of my friend's have divorced parents. I like the beat in this writing. Hope you all like it too

A man and a woman met

They had passion

Their hearts were on fire

They could see only each other

 

A few months passed

They got married in a little church

Their passion ignited one night

They brought another into this world

 

A baby and two parents

They took care of her

Their only daughter

They raised her to be just like them

 

A man came in and stole the wife

They tried to hide it

Their left the husband oblivious

They failed

 

A good thing ended

They looked at each other

Their world was upside down

They entered the Land of No Return

 

A new fire consumed them

They threw plates

Their words blazed through the room

They let everything out

 

A good thing was gone

They signed papers

Their things were divided up

They were done

 

A decade passes

They have moved on

Their book have closed on that chapter

They are new people

 

A girl has grown up

They watch her walk across the stage

Their eyes water as she smiled

They know she is her own person now

 

A boy enters

He is kind and spontaneous

She is quiet and reserved

Together they become friends

 

A single date

He wants to be hers

She wants to know him

Together they hold hands

 

A year passed

He wants to engage her

She remembers what love did to her family

Together they wait

 

A ponderous thought

He loves her

She is afraid of love

Together they talk

 

A conversation ensues

He listens

She spills her story

Together they mend the broken heart

 

A promise

He would never stop loving her

She accepts

Together they engage

 

A score later

He is a father and a lawyer

She is a mother and a writer

Together they have stayed

 

Blood may pulse

But it doesn’t define who you are

Parents may mold

But they don’t shape your future

 

Author's Note

What can I fix? How was the pulse? What did you like? Any comments?

This is long but worth the read. It was a great story and you incorporated a great message. I love how you write the message in your last stanza. One thing I'd say, in general, not regarding this poem, is that as you continue writing, you should work on being a little bit more concise. Just a little bit. This is a really great write, keep 'em coming!

A well written piece about a child repairing what parents have damaged. Very nice. Could become the beginning of a work that shows the childs evolution and your writing style.
