Divertere, in reverse
Divorce is desolate, forbidding and bleak.
I shan’t be convinced
It offers the freedom of which you speak.
New beginnings are impossible.
It’s a lie to think
Divorce makes healing optimal.
The truth is…
It causes endless pain.
I refuse to believe
Divorce offers a chance to begin again –
And, when all your effort is in vain,
There’s hope in separation
When only heartache and sorrow remain.

It’s a lie to think
New beginnings are impossible.
It offers the freedom of which you speak.
I shan’t be convinced
Divorce is desolate, forbidding and bleak.
