Inside a church, you're to be wed.
The rings exchanged; The vows are said.
With loving hearts, you say "I Do".
A whole new life ahead of you.
After a while, a baby's due.
This little child, a part of you.
You have become a family
and living life so happily.
It's so sad when
a marriage ends
with Bitter Hearts.
As time goes by, it often seems
your life became a dull routine.
The tension builds more everyday.
Not many words for you to say.
With all the stupid arguments
and life not making any sense.
You feel the friction constantly
and now, your child's the referee.
It's so sad when
a marriage ends
with Bitter Hearts.
You undergo a long divorce.
Private lives in public courts.
False accusations and allegations
just increase the separation.
Pick up the pieces and start anew.
Your child's hurting through and through.
A lesson learned and you can see
with love and life; No guarantees.
It's so sad when
a marriage ends
with Bitter Hearts.
Author notes
*Written as a song
A long, bitter, hard-fought divorce that took 5 years to be made final.
I don't wish this on anybody.
Absolutely, Horrible!

Yes I have, and the children are always caught in the middle. Until finally they choose not to listen to either parent. Oh well! Live and learn!
You spoke well of a terrible situation! I pray you are well in life!

i myself have never been through divorce with a significant other, but i know what its like to go through it with parents, and haveing to be the referee... im sorry that it took so long. im sure it must have been torture... my best regards, and really good poem!

A very well written poem but so sad at the way hopes and dreams can turn out. I do hope you find contentment in the future and all past hurts fade. Good luck with this, it is very moving and even more important, good luck with your life.
-
sad how love can turn so sour
and it makes the children suffer
sad but honest poem
very emotional
-
I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and the tears begin to blur my vision. The way this poem starts off so sweet makes the impact of the poem so powerful. This really brings back my own memories with certain things throughout the poem. The flow certainly helps this sorrowful story along. Well done, and I do hope that through time some peace can be found.

a beautiful write...lots of rhyme..most of all..it is so sad how we start out so much in love..then...one or the other spouse winds up with a bitter heart when the marriage comes to an end...i personally was married to the same man for 28 yrs ..till death did we have to part.thank you for your entry!
-
Many parts of this hit home. The divorce did not last 5 years but bitter hearts were the result of a loveless, hopeless marriage
-
horrable, and heart breaking, thoug it happens all too often to too many people.....
-
sigh, once again so sad..and a wonderful write! good luck.
-
You words here are so profound as they are sad and deep
Alas no matter what Divorce is painful, it is a battle and a bitter one at that.
Can there really be a Happy Divorce, if so I would love to know who.
Would I wish to go through this again, hell no, never

An excellent poem, I particularly like the last two lines of each stanza,
It's so sad when--a marriage ends--
With bitter hearts.
They seem to give the whole piece finality, a bit like a divorce.
Thank you for sharing
Sue
