No Man's Land...

Between them, separating us, this white piece of paper all hopes of a future, now sadly annulled. Their marriage over divorce settlement-finalised one parent's hand grasped instead of another. This is how our innocents get taken and destroyed lying on our beds as if it were an air-raid bomb shelter like military veterans, clutching-damp wet teary pillows. But we're only conscripted kids amidst the ongoing war Crying for what is fundamentally a God-given right. The rights of two parents that-don't-want to kill each other allied sister and brother against each other entrenched. Between them, separating us, the long-awaited ruling, nothing's-been-won, but all was irreparably lost. And it's us weeping kids who paid that significant, high cost.
