Acrimonious

Someone asked “Are you bitter”...
I answered “The word bitter can not even begin to describe the emotions on the inside”.
The union that I once had 
Has now dissipated right before my eyes
And once again.. 
An enormous fraction of my soul 
Has died...
How many times can the heart 
Be relived.....then I suddenly reflect 
On all of the good times
In a space where we were both happy 
And our marriage was doing just fine 
That span has been long obliterated 
My expectations were far overrated 
Believing that you could achieve 
The contract of marriage that was so elementary 
Oh....I failed to comprehend 
We were doomed to the very beginning 
Now the seasons have changed 
Spring, summer, and Autumn 
And still I remain bitter 
Because my heart will forever 
Be cold as winter
