Divorce

In embarrassment in shame we walk away
From the past love that we once dearly claimed

Our hearts they break no matter what
Knowing we failed in the things of past

We sit in our chairs blaming ourselves
When in fact it takes two to tango and fully share

But if one is not willing what can we do?
I had to walk a separate path just like you did too

To believe in marriage is a holy thing
But it can never be consummated by a simple ring

True marriage comes within your heart
Not by a church, a register office where you make your pact
You know what I'm saying is a matter of facts

Superficial marriage is made like a tract
Like a religious order, your sworn to the pact

But heck I've learned that to be happy
All you need is Love, in all its chaosity

None is perfect and we all make mistakes
But you know what? I'd rather place my bet and claim my stakes

In what I believe is the right thing to do
I simply believe in Love, just like you

Chin up folks

Another dose of wise Pixie wisdom!

I often in my younger years wondered why my parents divorced. And then I got older and more able to see them as people not just parents. And I know why now they divorced. If they had stayed together it would of been a loss of love. Your poem did a great job representing the often overly trodden divorced ones. sad flower

Yes happygolucky......its often difficult to understand why people divorce.....especially when they happen to be your parents.......but like ladybee said it takes BOTH to love and stay in a relationship......too many people stay in loveless relationships for years and years....married or not....and I personally would rather live a life of singledom than live in a relationship that is dead......thumbs up

Everyone makes little mistakes.
As long as we can love ourselves for being able to make mistakes - what can go wrong?

If You can make mistakes and learn from them, but not dwell on them - they are relevant.
