A House Divided
It starts out like a whirlwind
Blinded by infatuation
Ends up like a tidal wave
Usually with litigation
What once was cute
And added to our attraction
Now only annoys
Keeping track of each infraction
Speed bumps in the road
Children torn apart
Struggle with their comfort
While finding a new start
Angers rise and fall
As connections are now severed
Tried to keep the peace
With all that we endeavored
A house divided stands
Only many stand alone
The true reason for fallout
May still remain unknown
Despite the way it seems
It’s probably for the best
Trying to keep up beat
Rather than become depressed
