Poem


Once, so long ago, in love, we did believe
A union was forged, forever to conceive
But shattered dreams and promises untold
Betrayal's wrath, our story now unfolds

With heavy hearts and melancholic gaze
Standing amidst the wreckage of our former joyful days
A modern tale of divorce, so bitter and so cold
Where disappointment's taunting grip takes a firm hold

We danced on fragile grounds of counterfeit bliss
 Yet underneath the surface, the truth we couldn’t resist
 In adulthood's haze, we drowned in deceit 
A flurry of mistakes, too impossible to defeat 

Broken echoes of vows whispered in vain 
Their remnants directly haunt us with sorrow and pain
 We fought with fiery words that scarred the soul 
Till love's fabric unraveled, beyond any of our control

 Among the ashes of love now withered and decayed 
We each walk separate paths, hearts jaded and frayed
Dishonesty's weight burdening our hollow chests 
A tragedy fully scripted wherein neither attests

Anger festers within us, boiling in blatant rage 
Depression's embrace keeps us locked in a wedded cage
Frustration envelops like a suffocating mist 
As the fragile tendrils of heartbreak cruelly persist

 We mourn for a marriage that could never be saved
An illusion of forever now lost among the rapid waves
 In this modern world, where love can and will expire
Our souls are left drowning in a sea of unrequited desire

The bitter taste of farewell lingers on our cracked lips
As we navigate the aftermath, with trembling, unsteady grips
In the end, mistakes have led us both astray
Two souls forever haunted by what we never could say
