Death by Silence

Divorce was not an option,
Every moral held her place.
Abuse went unreported,
Truth was bruised across her

Demon lawyers stirring the brew,

Interminable legalities harass all through.

Vehement arguments, more than a few;

Open warfare

Darkest fears of nuptial knot

Irate tears of dreams forgot

Veer into two damaged hearts

Opening wounds to puss and rot.

DIVORCE

Divorce is a hideous agony

Initiating pain and misery

Violating natural laws

Obliterating thoughts and feelings

Dreaming for the end of madness

Inseparable we thought; now only sadness

Vows we took to heart

Our hearts now grown apart
