Marriage and Divorce

The former definition of a divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. In other words, divorce is the end of your promise, the duties and responsibilities of your marriage. A good marriage takes time and effort to establish. Though, for several reasons, people tend to ignore the importance of having to manage a good relationship with their other half. Through your calm words, I can hear you scream Lies that you say, smiles that you fake I can see clearly now My door left unclosed Listening, quietly at those harmful words Staring, silently at those furious faces Tears trickling down your face Glass shattered as they fell off your hands His hand landed harshly on your cheek I tried to pinch myself, as hard as I could This must be a nightmare, I thought to myself We were perfect yesterday, what happened? The pain on my cheek still lingers on I vaguely remember our yesterdays I no longer believe in our tomorrows Through my bare hands, I feel happiness taking a head-start away from me Memories of a broken dream lies silently ahead What was meant to be, fractured into pieces “Could you have changed anything?”, the little girl wonders to me Her misty eyes stared innocently in mine The guilt weighs me down “I’m sorry”, I answered Another tear tinkles slowly down her cheek “Could you have changed anything?” I wondered to myself Sorry is just not enough, “sorry” is never enough Those words I wanted to say Stayed sealed in my mouth Those tears I wanted to cry out Remained, in despair, soundlessly in my eyes Those memories I wanted to recall Vanished as I signed those papers Those promises I believed in Crashed into meaningless words Now I’m like a vacant box An empty case A mere corpse An emotionless response An useless item I watched you go. It shouldn’t be like this, we were “meant to be.” We were meant to be the “best-couple” It shouldn’t be like this, we made our promises. We promised to take care of each other for the “rest of our lives” It shouldn't be like this, we created our own fairy-tale. We were suppose to live “happily ever after” Now we’re just damaged hearts, broken souls We were perfect yesterday, what happened? I see her smiles slowly fade She held tightly on those pictures Mourned silently in her heart Her tiny body crushed under my fingers I opened my arms to her hoping I could embrace her save her from that unspeakable pain. sympathies you now spare unwanted pities you now give If you couldn’t change anything why bother change me now? where were you when I needed you? When I longed for that family-love When I was so eager to believe in you When I cried wretchedly for help When I dreaded hopelessly for you to care When I wished desperately for dreams to come true we were perfect yesterday, what happened?

A new-born cat that just arrived to this world. She couldn’t possibly comprehend what’s happening to her. She slowly shut her right eye, trying to look at this world in another prospective. She found nothing and wondered, where did I come from? Hands that suddenly embraced her into their arms surprised her. She felt the warmth the body was giving, so comfy and restful. The silence scared her no more, she finally shut her eyes and went back to sleep.
