"Freedom"

Ahh, to hear the song of freedom
to no longer feel the pain;
of guilty love, of dying love,
of the burn of acid rain.

To break away from ball and chain
and lift my head up to the sky;
will no more be my heart's desire
as daylight passes by.

To end the end, what never was,
this life I've learned to hate;
comes harder than the first steps of life
whose passion had to wait.

The test of time did not prove right
the pain incurred grew more intense;
without a doubt this love is gone
without a fight...I leave.

P.S. This was written just after I decided it was time to get a divorce from my husband after being separated for 4 years.

I am my mother's child afterall.

Sometimes in times such as this total disolvement is best.

I have never gone through divorce and pray I never will. Yet in your poem, I felt, through the words, your sorrow. I'm deeply sorry. It is a nicely worded poem though.

Thank you so much for your comments. You are all very appreciated.

Most of my writings come from some type of emotional progression/degression, but I'm always looking to turn over a new leaf.

Thanks again.

Hello Naomi

I could sense a lot of strength and determination in your words. I can't imagine how things must be for you and I hope you have a lot of love and support surrounding you to help you through this difficult time.

Take care.......Sue

Been there; done that. It is good to be reminded in such a clear poetic way. Thank you for sharing the summary of what had to hurt...a lot.
Be well and be happy.

Suetang,

The hardest part of the whole marriage thing was being married. We were separated for 4 years and I finally realized that life goes on...with or without him. The divorce part was easy. That was 8 years ago and I'm a lot happier without him.

Thank you for your kind words.
