Poetry.

During the first year of my separation and divorce I took the time to sit and write some poetry. I was in college and finishing my degree when I decided to take a creative writing class. Growing up I had always been a writer, and figured this class would help me to advance that skill. Below is one of the first poems written during that time.

Time

Time is a concept most don't understand.
They say that time heals all wounds,
But does it really?
It has been a year since our separation
Time that I didn't even notice go by,
So many things have happened since then.
I loved and lost but you just crushed me and moved on,

I was nothing but a pawn in your twisted game of chess,
While she was your queen.
I was pushed, kicked, and hurt
While you and her rested on your gold and ivory throne's.
She was cherished, and I was trashed
But will you do to her what you did to me?
Will she too end up being just a pawn in  your game?


One of many more to come. Jackie
