Divorce

Drained, estranged, fragrance of love ebbs
Immersed now in dark dungeons of despair
Vibrancy of dying ember, for freedom begs
Oh, why no longer does love with love pair
Recognition of who we are, holds the key
Cognising God in each form we clearly see
Enacting our life role, we forgive and just be

Your "Divorce" is a powerful write. It is so sad when this takes place. Good Luck... I also did this one. Have a great day..........

Yes, breakups are sad, yet we see more of them these days.

I would allow divorce where violence is concerned.

Domestic violence is just one of the many reasons. Infidelity, incompatibility, consciousness shifts, communication breakdown, financial pressures, alienation ~ people just drift apart sometimes for no apparent reason.
