Tell It To The Judge

Tell It To The Judge

A Poem by Alicia Hirshey

dissolution of marriage

So the papers say

Unresolved differences

Is there any other way?

Meaningless threats

Stealing from within

Who would have thought

You’d be the one to win

Philandery or adultery

It’s the same either way

Married to me

With love from another

Who should be ashamed

You left me at the alter

Relational aggression

Is the same

What about the torture

I’m the blame

Hitting with fist

Words cut like a knife

Lies concealing

The threat on my life.

guardianship

Custodial parent

Your actions speak loudly

With no consequence

Pointing out my flaws

But avoiding yours

No wonder you wanted

All of those w****s

Never once caring

It was my patience wearing

Thin at the source

Jealousy is wearing

You like a glove

Moving out

Losing myself

Finding the truth

That never got out.

Running in circles

Hitting the wall

Who would have thought

I’d lose myself.

Anger rampage

Stalking just the same

Easily forgotten

It’s all part of your game.

Author's Note

Alicia Hirshey
This wouldn't have been nearly as difficult for me to write if it weren't true.
Funny how much my divorce still effects me. Funny how I never said what I should have. Funny how much you can love someone who dispises you with every ounce of his being. Maybe I was wrong to stay, But part of me thought he could be saved.

I think we all find it hard to give up on someone we love and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we have to remember not to sacrifice our happiness just to make someone else happy especially if they don't love us in return. You have penned this beautifully.

Amazing poem Ali. It makes me sad and angry, but this part made me laugh O.o "No wonder you wanted, All of those w****s" I'm sorry, it's just I have to laugh when you use a word like w***e.

=/ That's the worst kind of love, the self-destructive which makes you that way.
