Exceptional Leaving Abuse Prosetry : The Day I Left by jusylee72      Memorable Moments Contest Winner

The day I left it rained It started with a mist The air smelled sweet I feared the thunder that would come The children helped me pack Their clothes in garbage bags Their toys in clothes baskets I left the rest The furniture meant nothing The house wasn't a home It was never clean Why clean a house with out a soul He didn't know I was leaving He went to jail the night before He would be out by afternoon He made the usual call Explaining he was sorry I listened pretending I cared I looked at the flowers planted by the driveway They would die without me I would die if I stayed to nurture them I watered them one last time even though the rain was coming I wanted them to know I cared I wanted them to know I planted them with hope That love would grow here Bloom here "We are going on an adventure" I strapped the baby in the car seat. The oldest in the front seat with me My daughter in the back with her baby brother I Got in the car Turned the key Put a Disney CD in the car player This time I never came back Writing Prompt Write a poem about a specific memory.
