I cried many tears
During our marriage
Through the years

Limited tears of joy,
Mostly tears of pain,
Being silent through it all
My body feeling the strain

Betrayal at the broken vow
Embarrassment, disappointment, anger
Were the emotions I daily entertained

Divorce was a relief
I could finally breathe
When it was over
I found no time to grieve

Through mixed emotions
I found laughter again
I found hope and myself
The wounds were on the mend

I thank you for divorcing me
For allowing me to grow
Allowing me to find my voice
And allowing my strength to show.
