Divorce Poem by Lucille Martin

Death of a relationship
Inevitably tragic
Violence is everyone's first thought
Often consumes us all with hatred
Reoccurring nightmares
Constant pain and suffering
Everyone cried

Devastatingly horrific
Impossible to mend
Vividly depicted in my mind
Occasional depression sets in
Recovery of my heart......impossible
Closed off emotions
Everyone wonders why

Done with it
If everything was different
Voices, if they were only heard
Our family, my family
Reaching out desperatly
Caution to all
Everyone feels pain
