The tears came today
Staring at the papers
Letters turning into words
Words into sentences
Sentences into paragraphs
All blurring together
She has remained strong
For far too long
Never allowing
Her emotions to rise
Dissolution
the word sticks out
Begging to be understood
To be recognized
She understands the word
This is what she's wanted
Near two years in the making
With shaky breath
And trembling hand
She signs her name
Then falls apart
It is over
*her heart restarts..
It's official. I am divorced. It wasn't as dramatic as I believed it would be. I wrote this a few days ago when I was supposed to sign but it got held off until today. All I know, I am happy. I'M DIVORCED!!
