The Torn Prince (Black Zodiac 3/12)

by Dark Savior   Nov 22, 2008


He sits alone in his room, looking over who he'd choose
It didn't matter, because of what he had to lose.

If he felt that there wasn't anyway to keep his mother
and as well to keep his sister and even his brother.

He was the oldest of the family and was sure that was a factor
for his brother and sister, he was playing the role of an actor.

If only his father and mother would just come to see
that being with one and other was just meant to be.

He was sure that they were the ones for each other
then they could be a family, with his real father and mother.

How could he show them that this was meant to be
that's it, the family just needed another baby.

Off to the pharmacy store he went with his little note
with a blue crayola crayon "I'm pregnant" he wrote.

His mother was on his way home from work,
on her way home from her being a night-store clerk.

She saw a little boy at the very last second
it was too late to stop, that much she reckoned.

She had hit the poor little boy who was so young
realizing who he was she quickly began to run.

It was her little boy that she now held in her arms
she swore that she would protect him from all harms.

She had failed as a wife, a mother and a lover
no longer would she use the torn mother for cover.

It was her turn to make sure that he was safe
instead she was out for her little bit of escape.

    Wow...*claps for you* This was such a good poem. But also a good story. Each line builds on to the one before it making a very interesting story. This one is my favorite so far. Very detail poem you wrote it. Thanks for sharing :) Nik

    I liked the message of the piece, but I think the scheme of the poem could've been arranged better.

    I understand the couplets and all, but I don't think it really fit this kind of emotion. The flow was lacking, because of the rhyming scheme, and it almost seemed a little forced. Not all poems have to rhyme, but you still did a good job with the vocabulary.

    4/5 Keep at it, cause I like your work anyway haha :)

    This is really emotional , like almost tear jerking . Very well done . The flow was a little off again , or maybe it's just me , but this one deserves a 5/5
