“thou shalt not use my kids against me” 12 February 2007

this should be a commandment
cause’ I’ll be damned if ex-spouses are
ruining my friends’ lives.

“i can use them for tax purposes, but I can’t let you see them”
has to be the prevailin’ thought. better yet i can hock them for
$1500 a head.

The marriages are over, for all intents and purposes.
I could’ve sworn you all went to your own corners of the room
for a specific reason.

“…But I’ll be DAMNED if I see another_________on your arm…”
Destiny’s lone author couldn’t have said it better.
Can’t stand to see you with someone else.
And somehow
MY destiny is intertwined with these lives….my ears are burning,
my chest is seething with hate, blades under tongues, and knives
on my passenger seat without my recollection.

All of a sudden…people are babysitting, visitation is increased,
but you can’t stay to see your babies’ blow out their “I’m t(h)ree”
bornday candles.

You can’t pick them up from daycare, but the text message reads
“i need some.”

And you sick phucks get away with this…all because of little voices chirpin’
“where’s daddy” and unnecessary guilt pullin on dna heartstrings.

….don’t make the same mistake twice.
