Divorce Poems | Examples

Running

Slicked back hair
red shorts
no shirt
warm fall day
Running
from family
from work
from responsibilities
words are barely used
no tears
no arguments 
just interference
There's a better place on the top of the hill
but its not
More hills
There is a breeze
and he clutches it
it's been a long time
No one understands why he'd trade 
comfort for pain
Normal life for change
miniscule details become important
as the breeze is now cold air
There were many paths to have taken
but he chose the easy one.

Men also cry

Men also cry 
To all my beautiful women world wide 
Am relating with you all now 

Please listen to this call of mine 
Do you know men also cry 
Yes we also bleed 

Why because men carry love at heart 
Yes we are always protective 

This is part of our nature 
So I plead to you beautiful women world wide 
Please respect a struggling man 


Support a brother to grow with you 
We need you women in our life 
We love to protect and care for our women 
We have great respect for our mothers 


We can’t push ahead with out the support of you women 
So hear me out my beautiful sisters and women world wide 


Love respect men 
In this way life will be better for the future of the next generation 


Stop the violence on men my dear women of virtue 
I tell you all no lie 
Men also cry 



To all the good women world wide 
Supporting their men God bless you 
I love you all 
To all the women egotistic and disrespectful to men for nothing or for their selfish reasons 
Once more i tell you no lie again 
Men also cry

Premium Member You Leaving

Life is slipping through my hands
I'm slowly losing control
It's heartbreaking to watch
As it kills my soul

What caused this to happen 
It's difficult for me to tell
The pain is still fresh for me 
And had to come from hell

My heart has been broken
It happened because of you
You shattered it to pieces
When you said we're through 

I believed we were doing well
And together we were happy
But obviously I was wrong
Our problems I didn't see

Now you're moving on with life
While I want to be alone
Your newly found happiness
Has left me to cry and moan

All I ever wanted for you
Was for you to be happy
I guess what hurts the most
Is it's not being with me


Premium Member You Deserve Better

It's clear that you love me
But i don't understand why
After the things I have done
And all times I made you cry

I've let you down many times
And put those tears on your face
I hate myself for creating you pain
Along with all your disgrace

I cannot fathom how you felt
Each time your heart was broke
The pain and shame you hid
Behind depressions dark cloak

You stood up for me each time
Even knowing I was in the wrong
Your love must unconditional
And it's grace I do not belong

You should have someone deserving 
Who won't be the reason you to cry
This is difficult because I love you
But it time that I say goodbye 

I can't let myself break your heart 
I've done it too many times before 
I need to separate myself from you 
So i can never sadden you anymore

Premium Member Living Life Apart

Last night I dreamed of you 
I held you close against me 
I knew the second I woke up 
You would become a memory 

Why does my mind play tricks
That sadden and deceive me 
It's as though my mind is trying 
To purposely lead me to misery 

I wish you could come home 
But that's not an option anymore 
With all that's been said and done 
It's impossible to even the score 

I'm unaware of what's to follow 
On this journey to heal my heart 
I don't believe anything will dull 
The pain of us living life apart

Children of Divorce

Children of Divorce 

Divorce
A curse
On a family
Who once was happy
Never to feel the same
Feeling like they are to blame
For this never ending game
Just wanting to be the children they were before
But they will always be the children of divorce 

Children of divorce


The sun will shine

Feeling dead
Nowhere to turn 
Dead beat ex
I'm stuck 
No way of freeing myself 

Finances so intertwined 
Like a tumour
Attached to something vital 
"We can't operate I'm afraid.
Too risky"

How did I let this happen?
So insidious 
So slow 
A parasite. Unseen, leaching, infecting, invading, taking, taking, taking.

Eventually, clarity. The alternative.
So often dismissed now better than the present.

But I must pay for my blindness.
I must pay the price for hope.
I cannot be set free 
Like a prison sentence.

And, by the way, 
Don't bother looking up
Don't pray or ask for divine help.

Help,
If there is any, 
Is ground level.
Friends, family, gestures, kind words, hugs, a sympathetic emoji in a motivational text.
You've got this
You are strong
I believe in you.

No choice.  Hold tight, wait for better days. 
Nothing is permanent.
Lean into the love and the sun will shine again some day.

Premium Member Heartache I Cannot Rid

My heart is breaking in pieces
And being ripped out of me
This heartache is for the ones
I broke without showing mercy 

Living this life without you
The pain is all that I can take
And what makes it even worse
Is that I caused this heartbreak 

If I were able to go back in time 
And alter all that I did wrong
You be here in my arms tonight
Which is right were you belong

But I can't go back in time
And resolve the things I did
I'm stuck in reality with regret
With a heartache I cannot rid

The Specter

The Specter

Your spent to long
Searching for fallen stars
Your moon slipped away

I hope your wishes were
Worth the price you paid

You failed the one 
Who needs you most

And now you must confront the ghost

Premium Member Hurricane Of Hurt

This immense pain in my chest
Has my heart aching and breaking
There's a hurricane of hurt in me
All the pain it is giving I'm taking

With gale force winds of sadness 
Causing swells of tears in my eye
As I'm holding on for dear life
I ask myself the reason why

Why couldn't I love you more
Why was it that we had to fight 
Why couldn't i make us work 
Why can't I make this right

I've been sitting here wondering
If you'll come home someday
Will this pain in me subside
Its causing my mind to fray 

I'm caught in this hurricane
It seems all hope is lost
But I'll keep holding on to you
No matter what the cost

Premium Member You Can't Hide Your Lying Eyes

There it is again 
That coy, sheepish look
I've seen every deception 
Written down in your book

So clever, you think
You're alibi bound
But the expression you make
As your eyes dart around 

Searching and fumbling
You stutter your vowels
But the bile you'll spit
Will come straight from your bowels

So spin your dark lies
Go on and deceive
I'm packing my bags
Oh what a web you weave

Premium Member Take It Back

If I could take it back the bad 
Know that I would do so fast
Retrieve every hurtful word 
Before the hatred was amassed

We would go back to the timel
Our love was perfect and fun
And you'd look at me and smile
Before all of the bad was done

To there never being any fights
When it was happiness and love
Do you remember being that way
Before the anger rained from above

We thought we'd be together forever
But now I guess we'll never tell
Because somewhere along the way
Our love was turned into hell

Premium Member Time For Goodbye

Are only 3 years of marriage 
We have both come to know 
We can't continue this anymore 
Its time one of us must go

Understand it's difficult for me 
To be walking out that door 
But it hurts me to stay here
And continue to hurt you more

Know that I truly do love you
But I don't know how to love you
I put the pain on your face
And I know it's in your heart too

To show you how much I care 
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm packing all my things 
Then I'm going to divorce you 

It's gonna break your heart 
But I'll never hurt you again 
And in time you find a new love 
A d your story with him will begin 

And though I'm dying inside 
I must tell you goodbye 
Please move on and enjoy life
I'm going to sit here and cry

Premium Member flowers

flowers came today
my heart caressed each petal
my brain threw them out

Ghost

Ghost

I have become a shadow
A mere silhouette in your heart

I have become that flicker of flame
You will soon blow out

I have become that old  worn sweater
You will soon throw away

I have become that favorite book
You no longer find time to read

I have become that memory 
You will soon forget
