daughter of a gray divorce
in this moment
what hurts the most
is that you planned it
prepared yourself
to look me in the eye
calmly
patiently
fixedly
and break my heart
in a way it can never be unbroken
in a way that makes me question
Everything
i thought you were

Perfect capture of heartbreaking tension throughout.
Leah, so sad and poignant. That “to look me in the eye
calmly” hurts.
You did well with this to bring us to tears.
Whew. This hits hard.
The way you broke apart the words made for staggering breaths felt with each one. Then the BOOM at the end.
Hugs.
Ooof. The tension and heartbreak is really palpable here. Nicely done, and big hugs 💜
