Unhappy Anniversary

Shaking in trembles, tremor within. A delicate pivot, shifts in separation. Consolation comforts, the loss of win. My first year of divorce, set in liberation. Bushwhacked, travelling back in time.. Reflections,... on dark night window. Shredded heart, in melancholy chime. Voice not so dulcet, in tears a wet pillow. I was once your only love, you ever knew. nonverbal dreams in your eyes of allure. Law settled rich, in favor of revenue. In acrimony of hate, split ruins.. of poor. Joining torn papers, pieces ripped off.. Crawling and dodging, in slow boredom. Healing cruel cracks of scorn and scoff, hopes of Oasis in mirage of freedom. Am I waiting for greetings and message? Anniversary of an unhappy scar. Scrambling albums, photos in wreckage, Yes, we celebrate free.... as prisoners of war. PLACED FIRST IN THE CONTEST 23rd February 2019 Submitted to Eight Word Anniversary contest Sponsor Michelle Faulkner Theme.. Describe any anniversary using given 8 words mirage,dulcet,consolation, pivot,favor, nonverbal, delicate, allure
