The ABCs of D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Because I like to rhyme stuff.

And cats with fur-hearts.

A is for anger,

A waste of my time

 

B is for bitch,

Which some people say I’m

 

C is for crying

Much more than I should be

 

D’s for divorced –

I thought I never would be

 

E is for ever

And ever, amen

 

F is for fucked…

Lately I haven’t been

 

G is for grief

For a thing that has died

 

H is for head,

Spending too long inside

 

I is for if

You say “boo,” I’ll begin

 

J is for jumping

Right out of my skin

 

K is for kindness,

For which I am grateful

 

L is for letting go

When things get hateful

 

M is for me,

Whom I’m getting to know

 

N is for nothing

I’m willing to show

 

O is for over

If you haven’t heard

 

 P is for pfffft

A good all-purpose word

 

Q is for quitter

Which right now I feel like

 

R’s for reborn

Which I’d much rather be like

 

S is for someone

Who may not exist

 

T is for trying

To make up what I’ve missed

 

U is for used up

And hung out to dry

 

V’s for the veil

That was pulled from my eyes

 

W once was for we

But not now

 

X – what I’ll have to get used to

Somehow

 

Y is for yesterday,

Or simply for why

 

Z doesn’t work,

So I’ll just say goodbye.
