Divorce



           
Death of a relationship may be the result of one's
Indifference to the other's feelings and needs,
Vindictive words and actions, victimizing that stuns,
Or infidelity that devastates~~and a heart bleeds.
Romance may yet win out, dismissing pessimism.
Crying may cease, with time and the fading of past deeds.
Each step on the path leads to optimism.

Very well expressed!! I hope this made the winner list. I too used acrostic form. I love that form.

Andrea, thanks so much for your encouraging response. I wasn't able to meet the sponsor's standard. He's looking for "self-therapy . . . Words heal." My words aren't healing! Janice

It's a heart breaking situation for everyone concerned more so if there's children involved. Good luck in the contest Janice. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Nasty business, Divorce. Nothing good about it (IMO). Very well written. . Should do very well, Janice. I hope you had a wonderful family Thanksgiving:)
