Grown-up Valentine

Adults can understand divorce
Or not but for the children
It isn’t always incomprehensible
 
You can urge your mother
To leave your selfish father
Not accept what he’s doing here
 
You can willingly suffer
The imbalance the peace
Of his withheld blessing
 
Or spend your childhood
Rescuing your parents
With the sins of your youth
 
The choices grow narrower
As does the gate
You must enter
