Pausing to reflect on the life we paired,

A fragile bond that we once shared.

Fun was had but so much hurt,

A bittersweet combination, a delicate flirt.

I thought the right thing for me to do,

Was to spend the rest of my life with you.

I thought I knew you inside and out,

Slowly I learned what that was all about.

In the shadow of my hearts darkest hall,

I realised that I never really knew you at all.

In the depths were all your secrets dwell,

A life you thought was hidden well.

When questioned about your evil course,

Did you even feel remorse ?

We danced in the shadows of our own making,

Not seeing the cracks in our foundation breaking.

After years of marriage, a journey we have known,

Forever grateful for the seeds we have sown.

And as we part ways, with hearts heavy and true,

We'll remember the fun, and bid our hurt adieu.

You are not divorcing me, I am divorcing you,

Echoes of the bitter truth , a split long overdue.
