"Heart Broken"

I know a man that had it all together, all things clicked, a good life
I saw him recently, lost, out of sorts, a condition caused by his wife
I do not know the reason why, who was to blame, and don't even care
I just know that a divorce has occured, one that was not at all fair
I seen this man removed not by his choice from his kids by many miles
I seen him trapped by a house and job, paying child support and alimony as per divorce files
When I visited his home, signs of past visits from the kids were everywhere
Toys all around, beds unmade, homework unfinished, kinda looked like they were just there
The reality was, despite the look of the house, they had not been there in nearly four weeks
What I seen on is face was pain and hurt, more time with his kids is all he really seeks
But he was all alone in this beautiful house that was meant for raising kids
Despite its beauty and potential, its purpose was unfilled like unopened treasure lids
I saw papers and dolls with vacuum marks around them on the floor
No doubt in my mind, he did it this way so he could remember the life he had before
I cannot imagine the pain and agony that this man must feel
Everything that brought him joy and happiness, gone, nothing feels real
How is it fair that such a good man has to hurt so much
Who is the winner, takes the trophy, or anything of the such
Not this man, I can promise you that, he is busted and heart broken
Not the kids, this is for sure, for all they have left of their father is a token
During my visit, my kids ran and played with all the toys
You can see in his face both saddness and happiness for all the noise
His temporary relief was leaving as we all wished him the best
When we left his house, I could see the heaviness set back in on his chest
He has support from some of the best people I know
But loneliness and emptiness is all his heart can show
If there is one thing I learned from watching this amazing man
It is life is hard, sucks sometimes, sucks a lot, but be the best that you can
To always treasure your children and be there for them when they call
Because you never know what circumstances can happen where you can lose it all
