How Sorry

You say you are sorry and want one last chance. Can't you see that I am so weary of this dance? Did the divorce papers not give you the clue? I no longer want to be married to you! What makes you think I would stay? I am no longer your prey. Your word I do not have to obey For I am finally having my say. My love I once had for you is deeply buried, As you are no longer the man that I married. You did nothing but give me grief. So now our marriage is one that is brief. Do I have to tell you a lover I have taken? That our wedding vows I have now forsaken? Can I be that cruel? To the fire add more fuel? Break your heart and your trust? I surely will if I must. I just want to end this marriage bizarre, I no longer want to hear how sorry you are.

Divorce is difficult. Your poem is clearly a reflection of your state of emotions. Three questions that are none of my business. Do you go to church together? Have you been to marriage counseling? Can he give you enough freedom to be yourself for your happiness without feeling low about himself? Just asking. True love is hard to find. If you have or ever do find it, it is worth and work to keep it alive. I wish you the best. Whatever your decision. God bless you and give you strength.
