I know your gonna do it.
Go ahead, play the guilt card.

"You said you'd never leave me."
"You said you'd always love me."
"You said, DIVORCE? .... NEVER!"

Ok, so never finally came.
And here we are in court.
Do I tell them what you said?
Do I tell them you threatened to slit my throat?
Do I detail the use and abuse?

Do I poke myself in the eyes to bring the tears that will no longer fall for you?

See me.
What you turned me into.
The cold hearted witch.
For this, I thank you.

Now, set me free, so I can love again.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.

Lucie I am the son of divorced parents and I am quite familiar with the situation you are in now. Now my father is remarried, and my mother is in love with someone again and I am very happy for both of them. All I can say is be strong, there is somebody out there waiting for you..

Ouch.  This is so sad, but I am glad it will give a new beginning -- may the road lead to happiness.

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Sending you loving support at a very difficult time of crossroads in your life. This poem poured right out of your solar plexus into mine! Believe me, I truly felt it!

Giving you a great big hug!

You will be free to love and be loved as you so deserve! The Universe wants us to be happy!
