Divorce

Divorce

Blinded by the dream, ignoring the rust
Ramshackle bridges are now burned to dust

Years of effort gone to waste
Keeping a smile near my face

Deaf to my awareness and strength
Putting me back in the kitchen at any length

Polishing your plastic award and crown
Top marks for keeping me down

I may be beaten but the fight isn’t over
For me to love myself and start over

It’s not me, it’s you
