Comment from Deb Damone
Well said and the pains that linger are for many as difficult as you have said. It is the destruction of the family and the fiber of its being, the consitution of what is joined that leaves the devastation and pain...and you have clearly summed that up. I am so sorry for the loss. well written and very concise for the 575.

Thanks for for five star rating.
Comment from CB Anslie
The piece keeps to the required 5-7-5 structure; I like the way you have blended imagery with sounds, sometimes in the same line of verse: "Chatting, laughter and playing".

Thanks so much
Comment from Allieas
this is a beautiful poem and it really portrays your loss so poignantly and eloquently. I am sorry if this is true :( my parents are divorced, and though I think it is better for them both (and me!) this way, it's made me really think differently about whether or not I'll get married.
take care

No two situations are alike.Your marriage may fair better than mine.So try a hand in it.And God will see you through.
Comment from tasettrini
Wise words encompassed a torn and broken heart.I think we,"society" are to readably to agree to divorce.More so when there was happy. Then a spouse throws in "sad", the divorce."Where did that come from? Your words were very touching and felt, sorry.There are better days that I hope you are in now.Sometimes it takes for granted, our wants and needs and spares heartache, sometimes not.Your words held to a heart felt blow, released is apart of healing, but you know this. It was heard in your expression the aching heart that it was.Good flow,thank you.

Comment from G.B. Smith
Hey Keyym
I remember well the day I came home from the VA Hospital 90 miles away to find my apartment empty but for the few things that she did not want. I knew she was going, but not this way. With her went my fortune, but I was free. It was a 21 year loveless marriage. The woman I truly loved and wanted to marry said no.
Three years the love of my life said yes. Broke, but so happy. Great poem. I feel and understand your pain

keyym, Very well written series of 5-7-5's. Really brought home your anguish over the whole divorce experience, especially when children are involved. I hope it helped to write this. Poetry can be so cathartic. Take good care. Your friend, May

Where are you the writer on this? The poem gives the sense that this did happen. It leads me to think it was long ago. I do not understand how you could be of a sound mind and long for a person that walked out long ago

This is a heart wrenching missive. It's very emotionally raw and vivid. A sad story of marriage ending with lawyers the only winners.

Comment from Sweet Anita
Losing your loved one to divorce is as bad or worse that losing them to death, because in death you can eventually find closure.. but in divorce you always wonder why, and how did it happen and is there a chance of recociliation.. ( That is what I am told). I hope you find peace in your heart and find someone who will make your life happy. (If this is your personal experience. Merry Christmas to you.

Comment from Andrewfo
He gives me joy in place of sorrow,
He gives me love that casts out pain.
He gives me sunshine for my shadow
And beauty for ashes, dear.
I have been there and experienced the crushing and the bruising, the agony and the pain, but from it all, eventually, the beauty did come through for me and will for you, too, if you will just hold on and praise, keeping a thankful heart for all the blessings your life has had so far. The only alternative is the bottomless pit of despair and hopelessness. Praying for you.
