Way Too Late

No creature so dumb
  No child or visitor so numb
    That they do not despair
At the tension stabbing the air

When there exists hate
  By then it's way too late
    To salvage a marriage gone wrong
~ Better to say, 'We tried, now so long'

Sadly there is far too much hate everywhere, no one wants to compromise any more, its my way or no way. Tom. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Gershon and best wishes for the coming new year.

Better to suffocate the hate than to continue to feed the pain-

Sometimes marital strife becomes unbearable when people try to hold onto a love that has left their hearts, Gershon. Really like you rhyme, Carolyn
