Hardly a Day Goes By that I Don't Think of You

August 16, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is divorce.

Today’s poem expresses the anger and hatred that often comes with divorce.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of you,

Mostly in anger, sometimes with hatred.

I loved you nearly half my life, and now

The bad has swallowed up the good, has eaten my heart.

How sad that I must bury so much of me!

I wish I could bury you.

The real, living you I don't want to hear about.

You were once what I lived for, and now

I don't even want to know when you are dead.
