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.

Words heal." My words aren't healing! Janice
