Beginning To the End ~ Divorce

I started writing this poem a few years ago.  I tweaked it here and there as time went by, but now I think it's time to post it, share it with others who can relate to divorce, & finally put the poem to rest.  Time heals, makes you wiser, stronger and I've been doing just that.  It's crucial that we take the time to think, grieve, and learn from these life experiences in order to heal...and move on with life.  Remember, "this too shall pass".  Smile, and find something new to look forward to.

BEGINNING TO THE END

           

People meet, sparks fly

Passionate, intense heat - make you cry

Committed bond, future in motion

Lonely vagabonds, no more – drink lovesick potion

Man and woman, husband and wife – don’t look back

Vows for life, blind to the bind – unveil, fade to black

Something cracks, frenetic and loud– play the game of blame

Infected reality, life opens its door - not pretty, not tame

No “good morning” kisses or even a smile – don’t talk

Days begin sour, bleak – coffee is cold…it’s time to walk

Anger, resentment – new normal, hateful words exchanged

Interaction fake, formal - acts of love rare, refrained

Hate replaced love - bewildered, beguiled – senseless confusion

Cherished rags, soiled - tossed in the can - wasted delusion

Family, a foreign word - blood thicker than water, evolved

Reconciliation a ruse – unfathomable loss, dissolved

Divorce - no longer yours, no longer mine - resign

Lifelines and lifetimes, divided – scarred, wounded in design.
