You knew this day would come
Inevitable, been due a long long time
Still the sadness is somewhat overwhelming
As you reflect over the years in your mind


Remember when you took those vows
Clear in your mind to this day
Only takes a signature from the pen
To make the promise of long ago go away


Chalk it up as another experience song
Put it alongside all of your other failures in life
As your memory list gets long, with things gone wrong
Time now, for reflections in your mind of struggle,and strife


Memories of the past, in vivid twenty twenty vision
Serve to ignite the fire of sadness, of past decision
The thought to yourself, questions if you've ever done anything right
As you chose love, for your guiding light


So don't hesitate, cut the cord,
Just sign and date, seal this fate,
Using the pen as your sword


For it is done every day,
This time, it's well overdue
Just sign, on the dotted line
The official end of me...and of you

Dennis, this is very sad. But, such a common thing in our world
today. Have you learned anything from that relationship?
I've learned a lot from my past heartaches and broken promises,
and so has my Love from his past. We have talked for hours
about these situations. I really believe that we both
have learned a lot from our past. But, we both still know
that to keep our love alive and our relationship  healthy,
we  have to work together at it.

BTW, you do a very good job of expressing your feelings in your poetry.
I can tell that it's from your heart.

Guess it does no good to refuse, does it?
So many signatures on file, so many love stories stamped out.

Dennis,  just the way this is written brings
out the somber and sad feel of the moment
which was a very significant part of two
peoples lives...

Well written,  lots of impact in this...

Very sad to say i have been here more than once>>
Memories of the past, in vivid twenty twenty vision
Serve to ignite the fire of sadness, of past decision
The thought to yourself, questions if you've ever done anything right
As you chose love, for your guiding light

This is well penned with skill on this topic...
take care, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.
