I feel devastated, I’ve lost my spouse
So much loss in my life, my kids, my house
I dedicated many years
And it's all ended in tears
I feel out of control, headed for the courthouse
This is not how it was supposed to be
From commitment to losing my family
I’m full of anger, sadness and rage
I feel like a wild animal trapped in a cage
The more I fight the more they pull away from me
If I could just turn back the clock
To avoid doing my block
I needed help to keep my cool
But instead, I lost it, life is cruel
Now I reflect and take stock
The more I pushed to regain control
The less I appeared to be a good parenting role
Through my kids eyes they couldn’t see the old me
Instead, they became afraid and wanted to flee
It crushed my heart and has taken its toll
If I could give separated parents some advice
I would recommend staying calm and cool as ice
Promote the benefits of you being in your kid’s life
Talking about the bond and happy times which were rife
Whilst keeping the conversation respectful and nice
