POEM STARTER

Custody

Cut

Like pieces

Of birthday cake.


Some for you!

And some for me?


Too busy

Focusing on who gets a slice,

To look at the dessert itself.


Decorated

and

Devoured


But who is it really for?


Never for me,

Never my own.


For I am the line

The divide between two people,

Yet I am the strings

Binding them together.


Cut into me

Right down the middle

And see for yourself

If there’s enough to share.
