Divorce

A seven-letter word That holds three major words In the palm of it’s hands Honey it’s over The affair was worth it The pain you caused Brought nothing but shame My heart is shattered It’s hard to explain Why I was given this cane It looks like your words Were all in vain For better for worse Sounds like a lengthy curse Vows written rings exchanged Commitments made promises broken Lies concocted, lives destroyed all for gain Greed and lust was your game Nothing will ever be the same.

An easy six. A crushing experience for many. So sad that some take those vows so lightly. Sending many wishes for a better future, and a good year ahead. I can tell you that writing about these hurts can start the healing process.
